Ahmed Assem el-Senousy, a photographer for the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom
and Justice newspaper, was killed while covering clashes in Cairo,
according to news reports.
El-Senousy, 26, was shot by a sniper
after photographing security forces firing on pro-Morsi protesters, Freedom
and Justice reported. El-Senousy had been covering clashes
between security forces and pro-Morsi protesters at the Republican Guards
headquarters, which left at least 54
dead, according to news reports. The protests came the week after the
Egyptian military announced the removal of former president Mohamed Morsi.
Abeer al-Saady, vice chairman of the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate, told
CPJ that his organization would be granting
el-Senousy an honorary membership and would be supporting his family with a
pension.
