1
00:00:01,249 --> 00:00:03,624
I saw the armoured vehicle hit someone.
2
00:00:03,624 --> 00:00:05,960
I ran with the ones who started running
3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,253
to help carry the kid it hit.
4
00:00:10,253 --> 00:00:18,775
I didn't know it was my brother at first.
5
00:00:18,775 --> 00:00:23,533
We carried him and went into a narrow street.
6
00:00:23,533 --> 00:00:31,078
I recognised him from the T-shirt he was wearing.
7
00:00:31,078 --> 00:00:34,037
I turned his face towards me. It was my brother.
8
00:00:34,037 --> 00:00:38,040
I was in shock.
9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,159
I didn't know what I was doing.
10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,168
I kept slapping my face and screaming "My brother!"
11
00:00:56,505 --> 00:01:02,354
Things have been escalating since January 25, 2013.
12
00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:11,650
But things escalated much faster starting from the Sunday the call to civil disobedience was made
13
00:01:11,650 --> 00:01:18,156
There was surprising sympathy towards us from the governorate building employees and they joined us
14
00:01:18,156 --> 00:01:25,079
It was a very successful day. There were 2000-3000 people filling the square
15
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:27,545
and the governorate building closed.
16
00:01:27,545 --> 00:01:33,550
After that success we decided to continue on Monday in the same way.
17
00:01:33,550 --> 00:01:39,880
However, when we got to the governorate building it was strangely closed.
18
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:46,558
They had closed the gate after the employees arrived and they wouldn't let them out like before.
19
00:01:46,558 --> 00:01:53,398
Members of the Brotherhood formed a human barrier in front of the gate.
20
00:01:53,398 --> 00:01:58,547
The employees leaned out of the windows and chanted with us except for one window
21
00:01:58,547 --> 00:02:11,501
from which similar-looking [bearded] people threw stones and broken glass at us and swore at us
22
00:02:11,501 --> 00:02:17,757
in very strong language. Boiling water was thrown at us.
23
00:02:17,757 --> 00:02:23,595
We were targeted, like booty.
24
00:02:23,595 --> 00:02:28,554
They attacked us verbally and with stones.
25
00:02:29,907 --> 00:02:37,574
They slapped my mother across the face and spat at her.
26
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:41,853
"Tell us who paid you, you heathen!" they told her.
27
00:02:41,853 --> 00:02:53,513
Mrs. Faten, who was next to me, was beaten across the eyes with a rock.
28
00:02:53,513 --> 00:02:59,386
Their treatment of women was a huge surprise to me.
29
00:03:15,314 --> 00:03:21,039
_ didn't often go to protests. He spent most of his time working.
30
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:26,878
On the day he was martyred he was going to pick his wife up from _.
31
00:03:26,878 --> 00:03:32,916
He got into the car to go from Talkha to _
32
00:03:32,916 --> 00:03:38,178
When he couldn't get through the governorate building area, he got out and walked.
33
00:03:38,178 --> 00:03:46,344
He asked a group of guys and they told him they'd seen me on Suez Canal St. wearing a galabeya.
34
00:03:46,344 --> 00:03:53,836
He said he'd go check on me because my leg was injured and I was wearing the galabeya.
35
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:59,858
An ambulance arrived and the medic came out to carry him into the ambulance
36
00:03:59,858 --> 00:04:04,670
He saw him and said, "He's dead. We don't take the dead," and got back in and took off.
37
00:04:04,670 --> 00:04:17,801
We found a motorcycle ambulance, and he took Hussam's body on it to the hospital.
38
00:04:17,801 --> 00:04:25,807
The doctors received us at the hospital and took him to a room.
39
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:34,489
One said, "He was dead on arrival, but we're going to try anyway."
40
00:04:43,944 --> 00:04:53,553
15-20 minutes later they offered me their condolences and took him to the morgue.
41
00:04:58,476 --> 00:05:09,638
On Saturday we buried the martyr Hussam who was crushed by a police APC the day before.
42
00:05:09,638 --> 00:05:15,101
The police attacked the funeral procession with birdshot and tear gas.
43
00:05:15,101 --> 00:05:20,024
Our nerves were stretched tight with the funeral and the dead man.
44
00:05:20,096 --> 00:05:23,565
Saturday 2/3/2013, the funeral of Hossam El Din Abdullah, killed in Mansoura in protests against Muslim Brotherhood rule.
45
00:05:23,565 --> 00:05:26,223
Suez Canal St, Mansoura, March 3, 2013
46
00:05:27,285 --> 00:05:32,165
They attacked us at the funeral!
47
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:37,289
An APC chased us as we stood on Suez Canal St.
48
00:05:39,012 --> 00:05:42,524
I stood there, not throwing stones, because I was in the right.
49
00:05:43,508 --> 00:05:55,163
The APC made a u-turn, a small window opened, and someone shot me in the eye.
50
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:10,666
That was it. I stood still in front of the APC because I was in the right.
51
00:06:10,666 --> 00:06:16,492
A man died. I'm not better than he was.
52
00:06:19,791 --> 00:06:29,264
God protect this country. How long are we going to receive martyrs every other day?
53
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:33,594
I hope people don't stay silent anymore.
54
00:06:33,594 --> 00:06:40,063
Those people at home, everyone, go and say no to this injustice.
55
00:06:40,063 --> 00:06:47,970
This is too much. Shame on anyone still staying home. Shame on you.
56
00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:49,696
Will you continue?
57
00:06:49,696 --> 00:06:55,135
Of course. Until everyone gets justice. Until my last breath.
