Woman stripped, beaten and sexually assaulted at Tahrir Square – Egyptian Streets
Yesterday thousands of Egyptians gathered in Tahrir Square to celebrate the inauguration of Egypt’s seventh president Abdelfatah El Sisi. While many television networks have been featuring footage of large unified crowds cheering and holding Egyptian flags, one YouTube user posted a video from Tahrir Square, shot on his mobile phone, which documented a much grimmer reality for the country.
The original video, which was removed from YouTube due to its graphic nature, shows a naked, injured woman, attempting to flee a large group of men who have sexually assaulted her in the middle of the square.
The sexual assault was reposted by YouTube user Marwan Arafah, and already has over 48,000 views [Warning: video below is graphic].
