Mohamed Mahrous

Mohamed was 29 years old. He was shot to death in front of al-Khalifa Police Station in Cairo, date unknown.

Saif-Allah Mustafa Musa

Only 16 years old, Saif-Allah was not part of the demonstrations, but police thought he was. They shot him on Abbas al-Aqad Street in Cairo. That was on Friday, January 28, but he seems to have died on February 1.

Amr Gharib

Amr was a 25-year-old graduate of the Faculty of Law at Ain Shams University in Cairo. He lived in Hadayek al Qubba, within walking distance of the Presidential Palace. (I used to pass through there on the Metro regularly.)

He was killed yesterday with two bullets to the stomach. His friends say he never ran even as bullets were flying. Thugs were blocking an ambulance and he was unable to reach it.

Hussien Taha

Hussien was a 19-year-old law student, killed at the Al-Qaed Ibrahim Mosque in Alexandria.

After Friday prayers on January 28 he exited the mosque and was struck in the heart by live bullets.

Ahmed Ahab Mostafa

Ahmed was 29 years old.

There is some uncertainty about the date on which he was first harmed. Some thought it was January 25, the first day of the uprising. But the database says this:

“Shot on Friday 28 Jan in Tahrir Square. Of 6 rubber bullets that hit him, 3 hit him in the face including 1 in the eye. He went into a coma died 3 Feb at El Hossein University hospital. When Ahmed first entered the hospital, they tried to record his death as an accident, but the family refused and forced the truth to be known.”

Islam Bakir

No information is available yet on how Islam died, but it happened some time yesterday.

He turned 22 years old exactly one month before being killed. In 2010 he received his B.A. in European Culture.

Sally Zahran

She was beaten to death by repeatedly being clubbed on the back of the head. Does she look like a security threat to you?

A friend of a friend writes: “we called her mom… and sally’s death is confirmed.”

Update: Sally was hit in the back of the head with a bat, on January 31 at Tahrir. She went home to lie down and rest, and never woke up.

New update: Sally’s friend Nour Essam writes as follows– “Sally magdy zahran born on the 16th of oct 1987 worked as an executive producer and voice over artist buried in sohag, egypt”

Ahmed Bassiouny, & spreadsheet list of the dead

This comes from Egyptian friends: a Google Spreadsheet where they are trying to compile THE NAMES OF THE DEAD. It’s early and they only have 27 so far, but they have information about cause of death.

Be prepared for sad reading.

One that especially bothers many of my friends is the death of artist and musician Ahmed Bassiouny, a 31-year-old father of two. Last I heard it was through sniper fire.
