GIZA — At 5 in the morning on Sunday, Nov. 18, Khaled Mahmoud was with his family and friends guarding a stretch of agricultural land on the Nile island of Qursaya when the military raided the place.
“First they used batons and electric prods. When people resisted, holding on to their land, they used live rounds,” Mahmoud said later in the afternoon. The troops “came in four boats. They were beating every creature in sight, man or animal. They were burning everything they came across.”
