14 dead in protests marking Egypt revolution

Fourteen protesters have been killed in demonstrations marking the fourth anniversary of Egypt’s revolution, the country’s Ministry of Health said Sunday.

Among them was Shaimaa El-Sabagh, whose killing was captured on video.

She was part of a small group that marched toward Tahrir Square in Cairo on Saturday, a day before the anniversary of the January 25 revolution.

As the group repeated the chants that echoed through the iconic square four years ago, police charged, firing tear gas.

El-Sabagh’s colleagues at the Socialist Popular Alliance Party say the police also fired shots and killed her.

Police deny using anything but tear gas.
