BREAKING: Police fire tear gas at Mohamed Mahmoud protesters Stone-throwing, tear gas and possible gunfire reported at demonstration in Cairo to commemorate the victims of last year's clashes
Clashes erupted between protesters and police at the scene of a demonstration in central Cairo commemorating last year's Mohamed Mahmoud Street clashes. At the time of publication, stone-throwing between protesters and police was ongoing in Youssef El-Guindy Street, off Mohamed Mahmoud Street. A wall stands between both sides. Tear gas canisters were being fired by the police in Youssef El-Guindy, according to the Ahram Online journalist on the ground, forcing protesters to fall back to Mohamed Mahmoud. The sound of gunfire could be heard, but it is unverified whether the sounds are coming from birdshots, rifles firing rubber bullets or live fire. Motorcycles started ferrying wounded protesters to safety, in scenes reminiscent of last year's clashes. Thousands of protesters are currently gathered in the street where dozens were killed and thousands injured last year. Protesters have also blocked the entrance to the square from Tahrir Square with a sign declaring that "the Muslim Brotherhood isn't allowed to enter."
