The photographer " Amr Salah al-Din " via his Facebook page : "The Anti-Coup demonstration began at 12 noon in Mohandessein (Giza). The numbers were enormous, and as expected, when demonstrators arrived in area of Dokki, near Tahrir Street, demonstrators were attacked. Special forces SCAF fired tear gas and cartridges for almost an hour, and demonstrators tried to stave off attack by throwing stones. Minutes later, army units arrived as backup, and opened fire on the demonstrators using machine guns. Demonstrators fell dead, one after another, most of the bullet impacts were in the head and chest. SCAF police backed by army units sent the protesters in direction of "evacuation street" where they then killed at least twenty protesters; snipers were stationed on the roofs of buildings and they were targeting people randomly, at the end of the day "Ministry of Health" announced "forty protesters were killed in conflict with police and army." NB. There was no "conflict," it was unarmed peaceful protestors facing a wall of bullets from all sides, including thugs with machete blades hacking indiscriminately into crowds of women. This was a massacre not a conflict.
