The pictures, videos and first-hand accounts that emerged after the clashes ended, provided damning evidence that the police force unlawfully used firearms. The police force’s use of firearms broke both Egyptian and international law, according to an Amnesty International report. The attempt to forcefully break up the peaceful protest on 19 November is in direct violation of article 21 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (which Egypt is party to) ensures the “right of peaceful assembly” with no restrictions. There has been no feasible justification for the use of force against the peaceful protesters, as they were not posing a threat to national security, public safety or public order. Hassan Ibrahim
