We are receiving some video clips recorded earlier today when the police began to use force on demonstrators in Tahrir Square. Sam's last communications illustrate a more peaceful scene was established later on, with fewer numbers that the day started with, but with activists still holding space and continuing to demonstrate near the square where some of the demonstrators were penned-in like is shown in the video clips below.
