January 27, 2013 (Sexual Harassment incident in Tahrir)

Today, I went to Tahrir square, Kornish El Nil clashes to be particular. It was dark and scary at the start till I started hearing everyone chanting as it gave me peace.  The very front lines usually feel safer than the spots at the back The very front lines are dangerous because you are vis a vis with the police and their gunshots, but you are surrounded with those who are really fighting for fr eedom, with nothing to lose. Our chants got higher "We will show them anger, we will teach them morals" along with "Ya Rab" since it was raining and it was a good time for saying some Dua'aa. As people reunited, the numbers increased and our voices got lounder. *Tear gases followed by massive gunshots* Everyone was running to the back again so they escape the gases' smells and of course the bullets. You are forced to get pushed because some people run fast without even looking back, while some run while their eyes being shut due to the tear gases effects. I notice...
