Today is the anniversary of Port Said massacre which targeted Ultras Ahlawy to punish them for their formidable role in the #Jan25 revolution.Always remember their courage in opposing regime forces, especially during the revolution & Mohamed Mahmoud protests. #JFT74
On Feb 1, 2012, more than 70 people, many of whom were members of Ultras Ahlawy, a support group for #Egypt's top football team, Ahly, were killed after a match in Port Said with bitter rival Masry. #RIP_AlAhly_Victims #JFT74 #لن_ننسي74_ولن_نسامح
Ultras Ahlawy says police did nothing as Masry fans attacked with machetes, strangled with team scarves and pushed them over the stadium's edge; instead, police shut off the lights and welded shut the gates, leading to a deadly stampede. #RIP_AlAhly_Victims ##JFT74 #لن_ننساكم_74
The Ultras insist they were punished for the key role they played in protests that toppled Mubarak. thenation.com/article/how-tr#RIP_AlAhly_Victims #JFT74 #لن_ننسى_ولن_نسامح #لن_ننسى74 thenation.com/article/how-tr…
