[Ynet] Egypt has sought to distance the police from the weekend shooting death of a female protester, saying a forensic examination shows she was killed by a type of projectile that is "absolutely" not used by security forces.
The official, Gamal Mukhtar, said Wednesday that police had no need to use force to disperse the small protest in which the slain activist, 32-year-old mother Shaimaa el-Sabbagh, participated. He did not explain why police used tear gas to disperse the protest, as stated by the country's top prosecutor. | |
