| [Al Ahram] Supporters of the Moslem Brüderbund killed a taxi driver by slitting his throat after he ran over a female protester on Monday in Egypt's Nile Delta governorate of Daqahliya. According to a preliminary medical report, 24-year-old Mohammed Othman died from a deep cut in his neck, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported. Eyewitness told Al-Ahram Arabic news website that the taxi driver ran over the protester after he demanded a crowd let him pass and they refused. Members of the crowd killed him and torched his car. The female protester was transferred to a nearby hospital where she remains at death's door, according to a pro-Brotherhood Facebook page named "Al-Azhar University in Mansoura." Public executions have occurred sporadically in Egypt in the past three years. Citizens appear to have become bolder in taking matters into their own hands because of a security vacuum following the ouster of president Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... 2011. Since the ouster of 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... in July, the Moslem Brüderbund and its supporters have been staging regular demonstrations against what they say call a military coup, demanding Morsi's reinstatement. The Brotherhood has been active recently on university campuses, staging daily "anti-coup" student protests, some escalating into violent festivities. |
