13 Years After Rabaa Asmaa Elbeltagy's Unmarked Grave

Egypt celebrates tomorrow the thirteenth anniversary of the dispersal of Rabaa Al-Adawiya Square in Cairo, which resulted in the death of more than ten thousand supporters of former President Mohamed Morsi. The story of Asmaa El-Beltagy, who was martyred during the dispersal events at the age of 17, highlights the victims' cause, as the Egyptian authorities refused to place her name on her grave. A plaque bearing her name and messages written by her colleagues were also removed. Her mother called for an investigation into her death, but no investigation has taken place. Her case remains symbolic of the political calculations in Egypt, as the massacre continues to be remembered as one of the bloodiest episodes in modern Egyptian history.
