Transcript of Deadly Crackdown in Egypt 埃及的血腥鎮壓
AUG 14, 2013
Earlier today Egyptian security forces sent bulldozers and riot police to break up protest camps belonging to supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
The raids set off clashes that have resulted in dozens of deaths, reportedly as high as 150, and as many as 1,400 injuries. Police used tear gas, rubber bullets, and live ammunition to disperse the protesters who had been in place for six weeks, demanding Morsi's return. Several fires erupted, destroying makeshift campsites and killing some of the people inside.
The government has now imposed a state of emergency, as Egypt braces for a possible further escalation of the violence.………. The Atlantic
