CAIRO – A curly-haired 23-year-old marching in her first protest. A Cairo artist and father of two young children who braved tear gas and gunfire to capture history with his video camera. And a 16-year-old girl struck by an errant bullet.
The faces of some of those killed in Egypt’s 2-week-old uprising are beginning to emerge.
A comprehensive count is a long way off as some bereaved families hesitate to come forward and human rights researchers complain of intimidation by authorities. A preliminary tally of 297 dead has been compiled by one rights group, based on visits to seven hospitals in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez.
