This post is part of our special coverage of Egypt Protests 2011.
Anti-Mubarak demonstrations are continuing for the 10th day across Egypt, with harrowing reports of death and injuries coming out of Cairo's Tahrir Square, where government-paid thugs clashed with protesters all night.
Tahrir Square, the epicentre of a million-man peaceful demonstration before yesterday, which was attended by around 3 million marchers, is now being described as a battlefield. A makeshift medical centre has been set up, with doctors and nurses volunteering to treat the injured, as demonstrators vow to remain in their positions until Mubarak leaves.
@TravellerW is in Tahrir Square and tweets:
Walking through the tahrir battlefield. Number of injuries staggering. Morale impressively high. It really is “La Resistance”! #Egypt #jan25
