On this day, 1 February 2012, the Port Said stadium massacre occurred in Egypt when dozens of people were killed and hundreds wounded after Al-Masry football club fans, many of them armed with rocks and knives, attacked Al-Ahly fans.
Eyewitnesses reported that police did nothing after the attack began and that they refused to open gates to enable people to escape. Many people believe that the attack was retaliation against the Ultras Ahlawy, a group of Ahly fans who were active in the 2011 revolution and in opposing the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
Numerous people were subsequently charged in connection with the deaths, including nine police officers. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1911563632362111/?type=3
