| 2014-04-29 |
| [Iran Press TV] Fierce festivities have erupted between Egyptian security forces and students protesting against the military-backed government in the Egyptian capital, Cairo. On Monday, riot police fired tear gas at protesters spilling out after a call by the Moslem Brüderbund and its allied organizations against the military-installed interim authorities. Student leaders accuse security forces of using live ammunition to disperse protesters in the capital's Nasr City district. Dozens of students pelted security forces with rocks, some picking up tear gas canisters and threw them back. Al-Azhar and some other universities have seen almost daily anti-government demonstrations that have frequently turned violent since the military ousted former president, Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... , last year. The latest rally comes as more Brotherhood members have been given death sentences and lengthy jail terms. The students also called for the release of all the tossed in the slammer ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... protesters and the dismissal of police guards from universities. The developments come as protests continue across Egypt against the presidential candidacy of former army chief, Abdel Fatah el-Sisi. |
