Clashes across Egypt leave at least two people dead
2014-04-26
[Iran Press TV] At least two people have been killed and dozens more injured as protesters held anti-government rallies in several cities across Egypt.

A female protester was killed as Egyptian security forces used tear gas and buckshot to disperse a rally in the city of Fayoum, just south of the capital Cairo on Friday.

Reda Ramadan was shot by a birdshot pellet in the stomach during festivities with security forces, a source in the National Alliance for the Defense of Legitimacy said.

The other victim was a 52-year-old man who suffocated by tear gas during festivities in Cairo.

The festivities erupted following Friday prayers.

, and the Moslem Brüderbund movement were chanting slogans against the military-backed interim government as well as former defense minister, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's presidential bid.
