A friend, who saw his body, told Amnesty International that there were signs of torture including contusions on his back and neck. He reported that Mohamed's fingers and toes were swollen and his nails were loose and that he had sustained a wound to his head several centimeters in depth. An official document seen by Amnesty International concludes that Mohamed al-Gendy sustained a number of injuries to the head and suffered a brain hemorrhage. Mohamed's sister, Sara reported that the hospital administration had claimed he was admitted to the hospital from the vicinity of Tahrir Square on 28 January after a traffic accident. Those who knew Mohamed al-Gendy suspect that he died as a result of torture.

The demands included: ending the state of emergency; ensuring judicial oversight over the election process; allowing local and international civil society groups to monitor elections; allowing equal access to media for all candidates, particularly during presidential elections; giving Egyptians living abroad the right to vote at Egyptian embassies and consulates; ensuring the right to run for president without arbitrary restrictions in accordance with Egypt's obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as well as limit the president's service to two terms; voting by using the national identification card rather than a special voters' registration card. Some of these reforms were incorporated in the constitutional amendments introduced by the SCAF in March 2011.
A colleague on The New York Times graphics desk, Sergio J. Pecanha, used a satellite photograph of Tahrir Square to estimate that it would hold roughly 225,000 people at maximum capacity
{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link)...Tahrir Square can accommodate approximately 200,000 people. However, images from Tahrir Square show empty spaces in the middle of the square and along the edges, meaning it is not yet at capacity. Also, protesters are moving around the square. Since movement requires more space, this shows that the crowd density apparently has not reached one person per 2.5 square feet. Protesters are also present in the seven side streets leading into Tahrir Square and on bridges and roads along the Nile, possibly adding several tens of thousands of protesters more. However, these protesters do not appear to be numerous enough to reach the reported estimates of 2 million.
The nationwide death toll over the last six days was reported to have breached 100 by The Guardian, while Al-Jazeera reported a total of 150 deaths since January 28 alone.

These are crude numbers but I would venture an estimate of 200,000 max for those four contiguous spaces. There are of course several streets that feed into the "square" and the possibility of another 50,000 or so in those feeder spaces abutting the "square."
