Egyptians march from Tahrir Square to support Occupy Oakland protestors with photo

[Ichingcarpenter]

As they vowed earlier this week to do, Egyptian pro-democracy protesters marched from Tahrir square to the U.S. Embassy today to march in support of Occupy Oakland—and against police brutality witnessed in Oakland on Tuesday night, and commonly experienced in Egypt.

Above and below, photos from Egyptian blogger Mohammed Maree, who is there at the march live-tweeting. He is a journalist with Egytimes.org, a human rights activist, and a veterinarian. All photos in this post are his.

1. That was awesome.. I'm sure M$M didn't bother to cover the

Egyptian support of OWS and Oakland.. It would make freeper/ tea bagger heads explode trying to wade thru years and years of dis-info and propaganda.

3. I am waiting to the claims of "foreign interests" involved in OWS.

That seems to be the standard line.
