  • People look at a graffiti portrait of activist Khaled Said on the wall of the Ministry of Interior building during demonstrations against police brutality on the first anniversary of Said's death, Cairo,June 6, 2011. Said, 28, was beaten to death by police in Alexandria in June 2010 with his body barely recognisable after he posted a video showing police officers sharing the spoils of a drugs bust, according to his family.
