FLASHPOINTS

Egyptians return to Tahrir Square to demand en end to military rule.

Today on Flashpoints we spend the entire program on the battle for democracy in Egypt as thousand of activists fill Tahrir Square again, demanding an end to military rule. We’ll feature a series of reports from young pro democracy activists including a lawyer who just graduated from the university of Texas and has returned to Egypt to fight for democracy. We’ll also speak to a human rights expert and medical doctor who confirmed dozens of deaths at the hands of the Egyptian Special Forces police and the extraordinary misuse of various crowd control gasses. And we’ll speak to a regional expert and analyst about the overall situation on the ground and the implications for the latest protest in terms of democracy throughout the region.
