Ten years on, we are examining the revolution that changed Egypt. The Arab Spring swept through North Africa and the Middle East and with it some hardline leaders were swept aside.

A role that many activists say was at best heavy-handed back in 2011, and has continued it the same way. The scene a decade ago was so very different.
