The face that launched a revolution

Last June, 28-year-old Khaled Said of Alexandria posted a video online that seemed to show police officers and drug dealers working together.

“Now it’s time for a vacation,” one of them says in the video.

The police were outraged when the video was posted, and Said paid the price…

The owner of the internet cafe described to reporters how the men had beaten Said to death in a doorway across the street, smashing his head against stairs, a wall and an iron door.

A young boy, who said he saw the incident, told reporters, “They kept hitting him and he objected and asked, ‘Why am I getting beat?”
