Egypt marks five years since 'Rabaa massacre'

Egypt marks five years since 'Rabaa massacre'

It has been five years since at least 1,000 people were killed by security forces in Rabaa Square, in Egypt's capital, Cairo.

Human Rights Watch described it as "the largest mass killing in Egypt's modern history".

The group was protesting against the coup which deposed the democratically-elected President Mohamed Morsi.

The effects are still being felt in Egypt five years on.
