Copts denounce the army during the funeral of those killed on the previous night during an attack on demonstrators in Moqattam (where a community of Coptic garbage collectors reside) protesting the sectarian attack on a church in Atfeeh, south of Cairo in Helwan. The army had intervened yesterday. Thirteen were killed. It’s unclear how those Copts were killed–by the sectarian thugs or by army fire. In the video above, you find protesters shouting “the army brought the thugs” and “the army hit us.”

#Jan25 Muslims and Christians protest sectarian attacks مسلمين مسيحيين.. الحرية هي الدين
Muslims and Christians march in Abdel Moneim Riyadh Square, heading to join a protest in Maspero in front of the State TV, denouncing sectarian attacks on Copts in Atfeeh (Helwan, south of Cairo). Note the support coming from drivers, honking. One car that passed right beside me in the video also had this sticker “25 January” on the back window.
