The Port Said stadium riot

Available for over a year

In February 2012, 74 people were killed and hundreds injured at a football match in Port Said Stadium in Egypt. Although the violence started with clashes between supporters of Al-Masry and Al-Ahly, the high death toll was also blamed on the police's failure to open the stadium gates. Al-Ahly fans believe the police's actions were motivated by the club's opposition to the Egyptian regime. Aron Keller talks to journalist and Al-Ahly fan, Ahmed Sabry. The programme is a Whistledown Production. PHOTO: Fans throwing flares at the riot police in Port Said stadium (AFP)
