| 2013-11-20 |
| [Al Ahram] A ministry of health official has said that 17 people were maimed nationwide on Tuesday, as various demonstrations took place to commemorate the anniversary of violent festivities in 2011. The injuries are mostly bruises and breathing difficulties, the official said. Several thousand protesters opposed to both the military and the Moslem Brüderbund gathered on Tuesday in Cairo's Tahrir Square for the second anniversary of the Mohammed Mahmoud Street festivities, which pitted anti-military protesters against security forces in November 2011. The festivities lasted for six days and left 47 dead and at least 3,000 injured. |
