Akhmed Samir Assem, a 26 year old Egyptian photojournalist, was
recording Republican Guard soldiers shooting at a crowd of Muslim
Brotherhood protesters in Cairo when one Army soldier he was filming
turned his gun to the camera and shot the journalist dead. On film.It’s not graphic. It is however chilling.
According to the
Telegraph,
the protesters were kneeling in prayer outside a Republican Guard
officer’s club, where recently-ousted President Mohammed Morsi was
believed to be held, when security forces opened fire on them, killing
51 people.
I found a few photos of Akhmed via a
video link posted on his
Facebook page – he really was a kid:
