Back to the Square plot

What have been the results of the sacrifices in Tahrir Square at the beginning of 2011? Unfortunately not so much, according to the stories of five Egyptians involved, about six months after the historical revolution. A young horse herder tells how he drove to the square to ask for the pyramids to be reopened; he barely survived that day. A taxi driver talks about his six years in prison, the torture, and how the police are behaving worse than ever. A young woman talks about intimidation and wrongful arrests, which, according to human rights lawyers, are an ongoing process.
