Attacks on Women Protesters in Egypt

The World

At least two people were killed Monday in fresh clashes between Egypt’s military and protesters demanding an end to military rule.

More than a dozen people have died in four days of violence now and more than hundreds have been injured.

One shocking image from the clashes this weekend stands out. It shows a woman wearing an Islamic robe being dragged, semi-clothed and unconscious, by soldiers.

Video footage shows her being beaten too.

Anchor Marco Werman talks to New York-based journalist Mona Eltahawy who was recently attacked while covering the unrest in Egypt.
