"We deplore violence against civilians. We support universal rights essential to human dignity, including the right to peaceful protest."

"Just over two years ago America was inspired by Egyptians'... desire for change," Obama continued. "We said at the time the change would not come quickly or easily, but we did align ourselves with a set of principles. Non-violence, a respect for universal rights, and a process for political and economic reform."

2011: "...attacks on peaceful protesters are unacceptable".
