Mohamed El-Shafie was killed on 29 January after participating in protests that day. His family spent one month searching for him before they found his body in a morgue; officials had previously denied that the body was there. The family holds President Mohamed Morsi and the police responsible. 

 

The funeral was attended by many activists and revolutionaries, who carried the coffin around Tahrir before placing it in a car to leave. As it was leaving it neared an area where there were already light clashes taking place. Dozens of those in the funeral procession appealed for a pause in the clashes to allow the vehicle to pass. Shortly afterwards rocks were thrown from both sides and police fired teargas at the funeral march.
