FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Egyptian security forces have cracked down on student protesters in Cairo and several other major cities as tension continues to grow across the North African country.
On Sunday, security forces fired tear gas and bird shots to disperse student protesters from the Cairo University campus.
The clashes erupted after students started a new school semester by calling for the release of their detained peers and demanding justice for those killed.
Similar violence has broken out at Misr University in Giza.
Elsewhere, police prevented students at Ain-Shams University from taking their protests to streets around the premises of the defense ministry.
Students at Bani Suef University in Upper Egypt have also been besieged by police forces.
The universities of Alexandria, Zaqaziq, and the 6th of October are witnessing similar protests against the government’s harsh crackdown.
In a separate development, Egyptian court has handed over two-year prison terms to fifteen Brotherhood members.
The convicts included the former governor of the Nile delta province of Gharbia. The court convicted the Brotherhood members of inciting violence, rioting and affiliation with a terrorist group.
The United Nations Human Rights Council has recently expressed concern over the Egyptian security forces’ heavy-handed crackdown and killing of peaceful anti-government protesters.
According to the UK-based rights group, 1,400 people have been killed in the political violence since Mohamed Morsi’s ouster in July last year, “most of them due to excessive force used by security forces.”
Anti-government demonstrators have been holding rallies almost on a daily basis, since the army toppled Morsi, Egypt’s first democratically-elected president. The demonstrators demand that Morsi be reinstated.
