Follow Up : Khaled Said Trial "Day 1" Live

From an hour ago the trial of the year , the trial of Khaled Said was supposed to start in Alexandria yet according to journalists there the trial itself has not started yet till 9.30 AM.We do not know the number of Khaled Said's case in the role. For the record the two police agents are facing excessive use of force charge and not murder charge , also officer Ahmed Othman , who came to the crime scene according to the eye witnesses is off the hook.
Amnesty international called for the protection of witnesses in Khaled's trial after the attack on Tamer Abdel Manam last week.
There are thousand of police elements whether in the uniform or undercovered in the street.
Youm 7 is transferring the trial on air through Qik , you can watch it below :

 Only the journalists with security journalists are able to cover the trial inside. Already TV journalist and activist Bothaina Kamal is there and is reporting from twitter that the BBC crew was not allowed to cover the trail inside the court house.
The post will be updated frequently so please refresh it.
There is currently a pro-Khaled Protest outside the court that started with hundreds trying to break the usual siege of the security forces and has ended now with about 1000 protester.
You can watch it live here from Philip Rizk

 There is also a counter protest allegedly organized by the families of the two agents , of course from the pictures and the banners you will know that it was actually organized by the MOI "Pictures from Bothiana Kamel"  The banners as you can see are expensive compared to the usual banners with woods and fancy fonts !! The families of the agents can't afford these banners.
The chants according to eye witnesses are so pathatic and insulting "What the drugs addicts want !!??" , also there was an antisemitic chant too and do not ask why or how !!

These are police agents

Police is our security , look to the banners , you know NDP banners
