The Maspero Massacre | 9/10/11 | What Really Happened

‎النسخة العربية : http://tinyurl.com/cx7358t

On january 28th 2011 millions of Egyptians took to the street and crushed the police forces that for years had oppressed, imprisoned and tortured its citizens. That same night the Egyptian armed forces took over the vacuum left by the police apparatus. While claiming to serve the revolution and protect Egypt, the military began arresting people from protests, torturing them and court martialling them.

One of those incidences was on October 9th 2011 when thousands of protesters peacefully marched on the Maspero TV tower demonstrating against the military's silence over the burning of a church and the armed forces recent attacks on a similar protest a few days earlier. That day the military killed 28 civilians, injured hundreds and arrested 30.

Two days later the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces held a press conference in which they claimed the soldiers had no live ammunition and the tanks at the scene were escaping protesters rather than trying to run them over. Only the protesters were to blame.

Three weeks later the armed forces called twelve civilians for questioning blaming them for the massacre. One of them was Mina Danial - one of the murdered protesters. Another was the blogger Alaa Abdel Fattah, who rejected being heard before a military court, and is now in jail.

As the military has, again, failed to provide any kind of justice, this film has been produced as part of an ongoing civilian investigation.

Thank you to all those whose footage helped make this possible, particularly:

Commenting on the investigations Father Matthias Nasr said: "I wonder about the conditions prevailing in Egypt now, whereby victims are being investigated, while the real perpetrators are ruling the country and continuing with their crimes against the Egyptian people and peaceful demonstrators everywhere." - Rene
