Police in Egypt break up Cairo university protest

None

Egyptian security forces have used tear gas and water cannons to disperse students and supporters of the country's ousted Islamist president after they rallied outside a Cairo university.

 

The supporters of toppled President Mohamed Morsi held a rally Thursday to denounce a harsh court verdict against a group of young female protesters. The protests came in defiance of a new law criminalizing protests held without police permits. Violators face fines and prison terms. (AP)
