Attacks on Women Protesters in Egypt
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.
