Crowds on Saturday afternoon, hours after the Mubarak trail sentencing was announced:
Protests continue the following day with a symbolic graveyard for future martyrs:
Abu Time: "Excuse me. There are no seats in revolutionary Egypt for those who wants to sit in the shelter of a corrupt regime. Political rights should be denied for life to those who worked in the presidency, any minister's office, the National Party, the Parliament, a political office or committee since the beginning of the previous presidency. We will not accept patching up."
A march on Sunday coming to Mohamed Mahmoud Street, the sight of deadly street battles in November and February, memorialized on the right hand side wall:
Sunday night, cotton candy vendor in the center.
The three banners in Tahrir (no stage this time until the end of the week): 1) Remove the public prosecutor immediately.
2) Implement the political isolation law and stop the elections:
3) Revolutionary trials for the Mubarak regime and the killing of the martyrs.
Tuesday afternoon, the supporters of God arrived. What took them so long?!
The last statement of the military council: Don't dream of a happy life because behind every Caesar who dies...is a new Caesar. And behind every martyr who dies is meaningless sadness and useless tears. (I love the frowning child.)
"Tantawi and Mubarak are one hand" - the picture is based on that which appeared a few months ago on the army's tanks of a soldier precariously carrying a baby and proclaiming the people and the army are one hand. As someone once remarked of the original picture: if the army is the soldier, then the baby is the people.
One of the many vendors in Tahrir, this guy selling SpongeBob SquarePants t-shirts:
"Boycotting (the elections) is treason to the martyrs' blood" - heated discussions ensued as several men with these signs entered the square from Qasr el Nil bridge.
Panorama video from the center of the square:
At the Mohamed Mahmoud entrance to the square, the soccer hooligan Ultras had gathered to protest the sentencing, Shafiq's inclusion in the elections, and the 74 people killed at the Port Said football massacre in February.
Part 2 of the Ultras cheer...sheer electricity!
