100s of Gaza Freedom Marchers vigil at midnight in Tahrir Square #GFM

Hundreds of Gaza Freedom Marchers held a candle light vigil to see in the New Year at Tahrir Square in Cairo. I exchanged new year's greetings with a Gaza Palestinian family that lives in Cairo who came to attend. As ever the police are with us and shooed away Egyptians who tried to join us or came over to speak with Marchers. But the mood is calm and celebratory.
