أحداث مذبحة العباسية | The Abbasiyya Massacre

مذبحة إعتصام وزارة الدفاع في ابريل ومايو ٢٠١٢
بدأت الأحداث عندما هجم مجهولون مسلحون على معتصمين وزارة الدفاع ليلة ٢٨ ابريل ٢٠١٢ ولم تنتهي حتى وقت رفع هذا الفيديو وراح ضحيتها أكثر من ١٠ شهداء وعشرات المصابين

A peaceful sit-in in front of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense came under attack from unknown assailants on the 28th of April, 2012, thus far leading to the deaths of at least 11 martryrs. The attackers came armed with white weapons, shotguns and other firearms. Among the weaponry found was spent ammunition produced in Egyptian Army Factories. Who is arming these thugs? Why would the Egyptian Army and Police sit idly by and watch as a massacre took place at their doorstep?

28 April 2012
Unknown, armed persons attack
a sit-in in front of the Ministry of Defense

"Wanted for Justice: Karim Baskawit,
for firing a shotgun"

2 May 2012
Five days after the beginning
of attacks on the occupiers

At night they started by attacking from
the bridge

They fired birdshot and threw rocks
at us from above

Then they came down to Abbaseyya Square
and we went after them

They were firing tear gas, using shotguns,
live ammunition and automatic weapons

This lasted until dawn, at which point
they stopped and disappeared

We went to where they had been

and found boxes of food marked from
the Military Armor Division

After about two hours they returned
with rocks and firing shotguns

but in the beginning they were using
tear gas, shotguns and live ammunition

I recevied 11 fatal cases, five of them within
only ten or thirty minutes

most of them from live ammunition to the head

Among these was one of our colleagues
who went out and was shot in the head

He was a medical student at Ain Shams
University

we're incredibly broken up by this

Most of the injuries have been to
the head, face, and eyes

Even within the past hour one of our patients
lost his eye

I have 15 cases where an eye has been lost,

and about 25 other eye injuries

There are injuries

Most of the serious ones have come from live ammunition

Large caliber rounds, from automatic weapons

Some of the bullet wounds have come from 9mm

Firearms and automatic weapons.
Live rounds and shotgun cartridges producied in military factories.
Who is arming the thugs?

"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Military rule ends today!"

"After they've sent their thugs at us"

"Down, Down with Military Rule!"

"Down with all the dogs of war!"

"Yes we're chanting against the Army!"

"Egypt is a country, not a barracks!"

Shotguns, live fire, they've used automatic weapons

We've found unspent rounds on the ground where they were attacking from

I mean I want to understand:

Who are these people affiliated with?

Food from the military Armor Division

Surely they must be from the Ministry of Interior or the Army

More than a dozen martyrs and tens of wounded
in five days of fighting, and the Police and Army, "Protectors of the Nation," idly watched
