Many of the deaths were due to the police's refusal to open the stadium gates. Members of Ultras Ahlawy claim that the supporters were specifically targeted because of their highly televised calls for the [[Supreme Council of the Armed Forces]] to step down, as well as their open mockery of the previous regime and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
