انتشر الفيديو الذى صور الحادثة لتواجده بشارع جامعة الدول العربية عند حدوثها، معبرًا عن رفضه للاعتداء على الشاب، وقال أحد النشطاء بعد نشره للفيديو: "ليس دفاعًا عن حقوق المثليين ولكن دفاع عن أبسط حقوق الإنسان"، مشيرًا إلى العقوبة التى تعرض لها من قاموا بقتل كلب، لهذا من الأجدر عقاب من اعتدوا على إنسان.
ويظهر الفيديو اعتداء مجموعة من الشباب على الشاب، وإطلاق صرخات الاستهزاء حوله. وأضاف مصور الفيديو أن مجهولين قرروا اصطحاب الشاب بدراجتهم النارية، قائلين إنهم سينقلوه إلى مكان آمن، الأمر الذى شكك فيه مصور الفيديو.
Forget gay rights; and let's discuss basic human rights which clearly don't even exist in this video. This rather feminine looking man was walking the streets of Cairo yesterday in 'Gamaat El Dowal', when instantly he was attacked; both verbally & physically for this appearance by a group of homophobic, young men. Unable to defend himself, he was hit multiple times as the crowed laughed & jeered at him. Following an attempt to escape, a taxi wouldn't even stop for him & drove on. Onlookers would also ignore his helplessness, as merely due to him being gay had apparently diminished completely his rights as a human.This is not a post about the defense of gay rights as much as it is the defense of basic, human empathy & rights. If those who attacked a dog were punished & imprisoned; what is it that allows the abuse of a human to be accepted in our society? Written by Farah HamoudaVideo by Ahmad Sanad
