And Mourners bid Farewell to Ahmed Seif El-Islam

Hundreds of mourners bid farewell to human rights activist and leftist lawyer Ahmed Seif El-Islam in a big funeral.

For hours we did not know if Alaa and his sister Sanaa were going to attend their father’s funeral or not. At 2 PM I knew that Alaa and Sanaa are going to attend their father’s memorial service next Saturday but there was no confirmed news that they were going to attend the funeral.

Later we knew that they would attend the burial. Yes Alaa and Sanaa attended the burial.

During the burial Alaa Abdel Fattah told the mourners that his father was martyr and that we all knew who killed him.

Here is a heartbreaking photo gallery for the funeral after the break.

Here are video clips from the funeral.
