Editing CR gas (section)

===Egypt===
During the [[2011 Egyptian revolution#November 2011 protests|2011 protests against the military government in Egypt]], Egyptian security forces allegedly used CR gas in addition to the more commonly used, less debilitating CS gas. One protester described the gas as making him feel "as if your eyes are about to fall out; then you have trouble breathing, and you lose your sight". Egyptians used yeast as a treatment for CR side effects on skin. [[Mohammed ElBaradei]] also confirmed via Twitter that "tear gas with [a] [[nerve agent]]" is being used in [[Tahrir Square]].<ref name="NRKmassakre">{{cite web | url=http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/verden/1.7887074 | title=Beskylder egyptiske styrker for massakre | publisher=NRK.no | access-date=November 22, 2011 | language=no}}</ref>

The only gas that has been identified by human rights organizations in protests "is CS tear gas, typically used by police forces to disperse crowds," stated Egyptian journalist Farida Helmy.<ref>Farida Helmy, "Chemical Combat", Egypt Today Magazine, January 2012 issue</ref> Egyptian use of CR gas has not been corroborated according to [[Human Rights Watch]].
