Egypt: Remembering Egypt’s Martyrs  · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

This post is part of our special coverage of Egypt Protests 2011.
Tribute is pouring from all around the world for those who have lost their lives in protests held across Egypt to call for an end of the Mubarak regime.
Today is the Sunday of Martyrs, in what is the beginning of the Week of Steadfastness, and marks the 13th day of the Egyptian people's uprising.
A call has gone out for yet another million people's march at Tahrir Square, in down town Cairo, to remember those killed in the protests. The day is expected to feature a Coptic mass, and the families of those killed in the protests have been asked to attend, carrying placards with the names of their dear ones on them. Tahrir Square has been the epicentre of protests in recent days, and a permanent fixture on television screens beaming the developments on the ground live into our living rooms.
Facebook page: Freedom Martyrs
Egypt Remembers also shows the pictures and names of those killed in the struggle.
A Facebook page entitled Freedom Martyrs can also be found here, and people are also encouraged to contribute the names of martyrs of this spreadsheet.
