Ahmed Mohammed Mahmoud was like any other journalist, his wife Enas Abdel-Alim, says. When he saw something important happening, he rushed to cover it.
And that’s just what he did on January 29, when he heard a commotion outside his office in central Cairo’s Lazoghly square, just next door to the country’s interior ministry.
Mahmoud watched as riot police fired tear gas canisters at protesters and brutally beat them.
Standing at his office window on Majlis al Shaab [Parliament] Street, Mahmoud quickly took out his mobile phone and started recording, a simple move that ultimately cost him his life.
Abdel-Alim said several eyewitnesses told her a uniformed police captain with Egypt’s notorious Central Security forces yelled at her husband to stop filming.
Before Mahmoud even had a chance to react, she said, a sniper shot him.
