Egyptian police beat, disperse pro-reform protest

None

Egyptian police have beaten and dragged off protesters to disperse a gathering of a few dozen demonstrators in downtown Cairo calling for constitutional reforms and fairer presidential elections.

 

Protesters briefly assembled on Tuesday in front of the upper house of parliament chanting for "freedom" and calling for changes in the constitution before plainclothes police and anti-riot squads attacked them. (AP)
