A Facebook group titled \"We are all Khaled Said,\" brought attention to his death and contributed to growing discontent in the weeks leading up to the Egyptian Revolution which began in February. Zahraa began protested in June 2010, after the death of her brother in their hometown of Alexandria. \u201cWe wanted there to be some kind of retribution for what had happened amongst the police and security forces and the ministry itself.\u201d Zahraa explains what happened to her brother was representative of the fate of many other Egyptians, \u201cIt happened before him and it\u2019s happened since and it hasn\u2019t stopped. I\u2019ve been in Tahrir ever since.\u201d Zahraa and her family have recently been threatened by thugs showing up at their house in Alexandria, flashing weapons and throwing rocks. She also began to receive threatening text messages, \u201cYou and your mother need to stop what you are doing or your daughters will be in danger.\u201d She believes she receives threats because she was so outspoken about her brother\u2019s death and because she\u2019s a representative voice. \u201cPeople are still dying in the streets an they can\u2019t speak up, so we are speaking for them. There is a sense that most people feel that they can\u2019t answer back if a policeman threatens them. There is a culture of fear. No one feels that they can answer back. I have always felt that I can answer back and I capitalized on that, answered back, have a voice and resist the silencing attempts. I was in the square last Friday and the day before yesterday. The teargas was so strong I fainted before I reached the Midan.\u201d\n\n\u00a9 Sarah Elliott", "Image Make": "Nikon", "Image Model": "Nikon SUPER COOLSCAN 9000 ED", "Image Orientation": "Horizontal (normal)", "Image SamplesPerPixel": "3", "Image XResolution": "300", "Image YResolution": "300", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Macintosh", "Image DateTime": "2011:06:27 14:32:10", "Image ExifOffset": "2108", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "72", "Thumbnail YResolution": "72", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "2258", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "11055", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0221", "EXIF ColorSpace": "Uncalibrated", "EXIF ExifImageWidth": "800", "EXIF ExifImageLength": "787"}
