Khaled Said

Khaled Said era un giovane egiziano originario di Alessandria, ammazzato il 6 giugno 2010, dopo essere stato arrestato dalla polizia. Le foto del suo cadavere sfigurato diffuse attraverso le comunità online hanno scatenato la rabbia sfociata poi nella rivoluzione egiziana del 2011. Nell'ottobre del 2011 due ufficiali di polizia sono stati giudicati colpevoli per la morte di Khaled e condannati a sette anni di prigione. Il processo d'appello ha confermato la prima sentenza e condannato i due polziotti a 10 anni di reclusione (marzo 2014).

Khaled Mohamed Saeed (Arabic: خالد محمد سعيد‎ IPA: [ˈxæːled mæˈħæmmæd sæˈʕiːd]; 27 January 1982 – 6 June 2010) was a young Egyptian man who died under disputed circumstances in the Sidi Gaber area of Alexandria on 6 June 2010, after being arrested by Egyptian police. Photos of his disfigured corpse spread throughout online communities and incited outrage over allegations that he was beaten to death by Egyptian security forces. A prominent Facebook group, "We are all Khaled Said", moderated by Wael Ghonim, brought attention to his death and contributed to growing discontent in the weeks leading up to the Egyptian Revolution of 2011.[2][3] In October 2011, two Egyptian police officers were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in prison for beating Saeed to death. They were granted a retrial and sentenced to ten years in prison on 3 March 2014.
