None

A Egyptian political party statement says a female protester was shot dead by police at a march in downtown Cairo.

 

The leftist Popular Alliance party says that police shot its member Shaimaa el-Sabagh with birdshot Saturday evening as the group peacefully marched toward Tahrir Square to lay a commemorative wreath of roses on the eve of the 4th anniversary of Egypt's 2011 uprising.

 

A Ministry of Health confirmed that a female protester died from birdshot injuries to her head and body.
