Moheb Doss, one of the founders of the Tamarod movement that organised protests against the Muslim Brotherhood government in  mid-2013 . 

A Cairo rally in support of leftist presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahi, who has no chance of winning but who wants to form an opposition after he loses, as he fears ceding all political space to the counter-revolution.
