"Before the revolution, demonstrating in front of the Ministry of Interior would have been suicide," one of 400 young protestors told the CWI while demonstrating in front of the Ministry building, on 6 June, in memory of Khalid Saied, who was beaten to death by police on 6 June 2010 in Alexandria. The Facebook site set up in protest at the killing, ‘We are all Khalid Saied’, attracted thousands of members and played a part in mobilizing the January 25th 2011 demonstrations that led to the downfall of the former dictator, Mubarak.

Protestors demonstrated in front of the Ministry, last week, in memory of this martyr of the emergency law, sending a clear message was sent to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) and the government, which states that "criticizing the army" is a "red line not to be crossed". The protest was against court martial trials used against civilian protestors, the slow ‘trials’ of the killers of protestors during the weeks of mass protests and also against continuing police brutality.
