[Al Ahram] Hundreds of Moslem Brüderbund students at Cairo's Al-Azhar university protested on Sunday demanding the dismissal of the university President and Al-Azhar's Grand Imam.The administration threatened to take legal procedures against whoever disrupts "the educational system." Tens of female students formed a group called the "Ultras Azhari girls," to defend the legitimacy of ousted president Morsi within Al-Azhar University. Using the tambour and other Ultras inspired chants, the group held a rally on Al-Azhar's University campus in the girls' section, chanting slogans such as, "the voice of the woman is revolution," and, "the voice of woman is not nakedness". The Ultras Azhari girls group demands the reinstatement of ousted 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... to his former position as Egypt's president, as well as the reinstatement of the Shura council and currently-suspended 2012 constitution.Groups of students have been protesting what they call a "military coup" that toppled Islamist president Mohammed Morsi. They reject the country's interim leadership and call for Morsi's reinstatement. They're also demanding that their locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! colleagues be freed. On 17 October, student protests at Al-Azhar turned violent, when police intervened to disperse what they said was a non-peaceful demonstration.

At least seven students were nabbed Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! and a policeman was injured, according to security sources. The university's student union, however, maintains 30 students were arrested. Posted by: Fred 2013-10-28 |
