[ SOUND ] [ FOREIGN ] They entered, they started kicking people, they start kicking the guys, slapping them, hitting them in the face. Heba Azues a 23 year old medical intern describes her brief detention by Egyptian security forces on May 16th. She was part of a demonstration, outside Cairo's Israel Embassy. [ SOUND ] As solider and police dispersed the crowd, some 350 people were injured. They started saying oh yea, you think you have the revolution for the Facebook thing? You sexy guys and stuff like that, and they start cursing with every curse they could ever say. [ NOISE ] [ SOUND ] Heba's experience is just one example of why thousands turned out into first square last Friday. To demonstrate against the army. Nearly four months after the fall of President Hosni Mubarak. The Egyptian military, now in charge of a transition to civilian rule, [ NOISE ] was greeted with cheers in Tahrir during the revolution. Now, it is a target of outrage. [ NOISE ] They're not here to rule us. [ SOUND ] They're supposed to comply with our decisions, not us comply with their decisions. [ CROSSTALK ] [ INAUDIBLE ] There are chants against the use of military ports to try protestors. [ SOUND ] [ INAUDIBLE ]. An alleged human rights abuses by soilders. Including examinations to check the virginity of detained female demonstraters. As senior general said in an interview with CNN, that the virginity checks were in fact conducted. He said the checks were done to protect soldiers from charges of rape, or sexual assault. Many Egyptians, though not all, fear the voice of the people, is becoming lost in the military's iron grip. Before Friday's gathering, Blogger Mahkmoud Salim. Knows as Sand Monkey, used his blog and Twitter feed to implore Egyptians to protest. [ NOISE ] It's been week after week of people pushing and pushing for things and nothing is happening. And not only is nothing happeneing. [ NOISE ] They're trying to take away our rights again, and they're allowing things to happen, that would create all kinds of security confusion all over. The Army, for its part, insists Egyptians have the right to protest, and says it will investigate allegations of abuse by government forces. [ NOISE ] But days after the Tahrir protest ended peacefully, critics of the military were in disbelief. Again, a demonstration formed. This time, outside of the military prosecutor's office. An activist, a TV host, and a journalist were all called in for questioning by authorities. After a discussion critical of the military [ NOISE ] aired on the live talk show.

[ FOREIGN ] In every room of the headquarters, members hash out the direction of their party in advance of September's Parliamentary elections. [ CROSSTALK ] Many are learning the nuances of politics for the first time. [ CROSSTALK ] Just four months ago, under the repressive old regime, these scenes wouldn't have been possible for average Egyptians. Both of the parties have been at the booth for the regular, [ CROSSTALK ] you know, man or woman on the street, because they haven't been really doing anything. We were isolated. We were, in isolated islands and we don't, we couldn't get in touch with each other. The social democratic party platform, centers on helping the lower classes and members have only four months to become known among Egyptian voters. We need a lot time to actually communicate our thoughts, and communicate our orientation and do political awareness [ INAUDIBLE ] work, in order to make them more quickly. [ COUGH ] [ SOUND ] All of this, tensions with the army and the political sprint to elections, comes ahead of a landmark day. Year ago on June sixth, a young man named Khaled Saeed was allegedly beaten to death by police in Alexandria. His death helped prompt calls for revolution. And a year later, Egypt struggles to make real, [ NOISE ] the revolutionary dreams that were birthed here in Tahrir square. In Cairo, this is David Bauti, for Time Video.
