they’re accusing AUC campus security again

Ludicrous. Our security guards do not even have, and have never had, firearms of any kind.

“On Tuesday, June 12, 2012 in the proceedings of the trial of the battle of the camel, Aly Ahmed Dergham, a lawyer in the case, claimed that the University has firearms on its Tahrir Square campus and asked that its staff be considered suspects. The American University in Cairo vehemently denies any role in the battle of the camel or the killing of protesters. Furthermore, the University does not have any firearms on its campus. All members of the Tahrir Square campus security staff are Egyptians and do not carry firearms at anytime. The American University in Cairo has cooperated fully in the investigation of the January 2011 events and will continue to do so.

In response to several media reports of these allegations, the University will be issuing an official response.”
