Independent journalists trying to film the military violence complained of harassment. An independent satellite channel broadcasting live images of the clashes was removed from the air twice in recent days, once after it focused on a scene of soldiers beating a woman. Soldiers have also taken or smashed cameras. And on Saturday they raided an apartment overlooking Tahrir Square that has become a well-known hangout for journalists and activists filming or watching the events below, occupants said.
