FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Seven people have been killed in fresh clashes between police and supporters of ousted Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi, in the capital Cairo and the city of Giza.
A source from the pro-Morsi National Alliance for the Defence of Legitimacy said five protesters were shot dead by security forces in Giza on Friday.
Two young men were also killed by live fire in Cairo, the source added.
Five people, including a police officer, were reportedly wounded during the clashes in the capital.
More than a dozen demonstrators were killed on Thursday and Friday across Egypt.
Over 190 people were arrested during the protests, security officials told Egypt’s MENA news agency.
It has been reported that the Egyptian police have used excessive force to suppress the nationwide demonstrations. Eyewitnesses say the police have been using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds.
The killings occurred following the Friday prayers during demonstrations held in different cities to mark the first anniversary of a bloody crackdown on a protest in the capital.
On August 14, 2013, after then army chief and now president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, declared that Morsi was no longer in office, the security forces launched a brutal crackdown on thousands of the Morsi supporters at protest camps in Rabaa al-Adawiya and Nahda squares, leaving hundreds of people dead.
Egypt has been the scene of anti-government protests with continuous clashes between security forces and supporters of Mohamed Morsi since his ouster in July last year.
