article on the demythologization of Khaled Said

Amro Ali with an interesting piece HERE that took some bravery. Said has taken on saintly dimensions in Egypt, and the second anniversary of his brutal murder will be observed tomorrow, Wednesday, June 6.

Ali’s piece, however, suggests that Said was a likable but also troubled figure who was in fact involved with drugs as the police claimed, and may not have posted the reputed video of a police drug deal. The fact of a brutal police killing remains, but Ali wants to complicate the story. See what you think.
