Army, police crack down on Tahrir sit-in
On the first day of Ramadan, the army and police are now cracking down on the Tahrir sit-in, randomly arresting activists and members of families of the martyrs, tearing down the tents, firing live ammunition into the air.

UPDATE: Check out this set of pix by Nora Shalaby. Interesting to see a new breed of thugs, in plainclothes but wearing official army and police helmets with bullet proof vests.
UPDATE: Also of course, Brigadier General Mamdouh Abbas of the military police was also there. Whenever this guy appears, troubles always follow.
