  5. “
    ..but they didnt let her ago & I heard her shouting "my phone, u animal," and in less than 10 seconds, csf surrounded us & pulled us apart..
  6. “
    ..I didn't see @monaeltahawy since then. 5 soldiers surrounded me, beat me with batons all over my body w/ extra dose for my head, and...

    ..dragged me along M.Mahmoud st, 2 beating me with batons, 1 kicking me, 1 fingering my ass, 1 checking my pockets, till the end of the st..

  12. “
    ..happy w/ my blood. 1 man in a civilian clothes came out of a crowd & stopped us, asked "what's going on here?".."they beat me up.."..
  13. “
    ..He asked "where r u from?" Me.."Alex"..He.."Take him"..then they sent me to a kiosk where they put another 28 detainees among them a Dr..
  14. “
    ..we were there past 2am, they collected everything we have & told us we will be released at 10am. I asked for medical help but, no answer..
  15. “
    ..at 8am, we were sent in the same car back to M.Mahmoud st. & set us free. but they didn't give us the stuff they took at the prison..
  16. “
    ..while we r walking from the car to the protesters on the other side of the street, army soldiers greeted us calling us "heroes" !! and I..
  17. “
    ..I met the same man in civilian clothes whom I saw the night b4. I asked "why u didn't help me?" "I don't recognize u" he smiled..
  18. “
    ..I told him what happened, he apologized & hugged me. I asked about my phone as I need to call my family, He "I don't know who took it"..
  19. “
    ..Me "How come u dont, I can recognize last night officer who was responsible of what happened" He "I don't know who were the soldiers"..
  20. “
    ..Me "How come u dont know ur soldiers?" He "Come back later I'll find u ur phone" Me "I wont come later, I need to contact my family now"..
  21. “
    ..he gave me his phone & offered 2 dial my family but I insisted on having mine. then I asked "who r u?" He "I'm major general Maher "..
  22. “
    ..Me "police or army?", "police" Me "How can I reach u?" He "Here is my phone number ****, now u need to go" with a big smile on his face..
  23. “
    ..I left, we didn't get our stuff back, they threw them among protester to claim that the protesters stole them and disappeared...
  24. “
    ..I went to the field hospital, I got 5 stitches in my forehead, 3 beside my eye, and lots of bruises all over my body & endless chest pain.
  25. “
    Worst thing, they beat me b4 they accuse me of anything. no interrogation, no accusations, nothing! the only question was "where r u from?"
  26. “
    As @MagButter points out, we were entrapped by bastard plain clothes security/thugs
  27. “
    I can't go to #tahrir or #Smouha in the coming weeks, I beg everyone who's reading this to head there instead of me because u might be next.
  28. “
    U r free to copy, compile, republish, blog, or print my tweets regarding what happened to me last week.
