Egyptians speak out against graffiti removal

There has been an outcry in Egypt over the government’s move to clean up graffiti.

Authorities have painted over a wall at iconic Tahrir Square that was covered in revolutionary slogans, and was seen as a symbol of the uprising.

But activists and artists believe the graffiti is a symbol of resistance, and pledge voices on the walls won’t be silenced.
