Speaking to Democracy Now! live from Tahrir Square, Egyptian writer Ahdaf Soueif says activists have responded at great personal risk by documenting and trying to stop the abuses as they occur. Soueif is the author of several books, including "The Map of Love" and most recently, "CairoMy City, Our Revolution."
