Protestors in Tahrir Square expressed their apprehension over targeting activists. They also claimed that these assassinations are never going to end as long as Iranian-backed parties are in the authority, who resort to hit-men to assassinate activists and protestors. They insisted on the importance of eliminating these pro-Iranian parties.
