Revolution Youth Union accuses military, Min of Interior of ‘massacre'
Published in Youm7 on 21 - 11 - 2011

CAIRO: The Revolution Youth Union issued a statement accusing Egypt's ruling military council and Ministry of the Interior of committing a “massacre” in Tahrir Square over the past two days.
It said dozens of unarmed citizens were deliberately killed during savage attacks by military and police forces.
The statement said the security forces used many weapons, including live ammunition and grenades that cause suffocation, which resulted in a massacre of Tahrir protesters.
The statement said the continuous attacks against peaceful protesters resulted in new casualties and deaths every minute. It also mentioned how the military police savagely attacked the field hospital with tear gas. One of the wounded died from suffocation while receiving treatment.
The union blamed the military council for the incidents in Tahrir because the council broke its promises and killed citizens rather than protecting them. The union also accused the police of murdering citizens and seeking revenge for the January 25 Revolution instead of pursuing thugs and preventing theft.
The union demanded that the Supreme Judicial Council punish the protesters' killers and remain neutral while conducting investigations concerning the deadly tear gas and other incidents in Tahrir.
