| Student Killed in Cairo University Clashes |
| 2014-05-21 |
| [AnNahar] A student was killed and another maimed Tuesday when supporters of Egypt's 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... and police clashed outside Cairo University, the health ministry said. Engineering student Islam Mohammed was killed when he was hit by birdshot as the festivities erupted, it said. Overnight, gunnies in a car fired at a group of police outside the capital's al-Azhar university, killing three and wounding nine. The attack came as pro-Morsi students protested at the university. Student backers of Morsi have staged regular demonstrations on campuses as a police crackdown has weakened their ability to hold large street protests. Morsi was tossed by former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sissi in July last year after massive protests demanding the Islamist leader's resignation. Sisi is now standing for president in the May 26-27 election which he is expected to win easily. |
