Al-Fath massacre, 16 August — source title

About this record

An account attributed to Adham Hassanein describes attending Friday prayers, moving towards al-Fath Mosque and helping record names of people killed or injured after the Rabaa dispersal. The contributor recalls bodies gathered inside the mosque and severe injuries that available doctors struggled to treat. The account then describes leaving before the mosque was surrounded, travelling through central Cairo, alleged gunfire near al-Muski police station, and several checkpoints. The writer says a cousin’s body was located at al-Hilal Hospital two days later. This summary separates the contributor’s recollections from verified findings. The allegations, precise chronology and account of the relative’s death require further evidence.
