One man was confirmed dead and hundreds more injured as supporters and opponents of President Mohamed Morsy clashed in Mansoura, Daqahlia governorate, on Wednesday. Dozens of opposition protesters detained a group of Muslim Brotherhood and Jama'a al-Islamiya members in a mosque in Mansoura, prevented them from leaving for an Islamist rally aimed at supporting President Morsy under the sllogan: "No to violence. Yes to legitimacy." Russia Today reported "at least 2" deaths in the wake of the unrest on Wednesday night. Clashes between the two sides shook cities across Egypt on Wednesday, leaving 298 injured, including 243 in Daqahlia, 53 in Sharqiya and 2 in Gharbiya, according to Health Ministry figures. Of the total number of injured persons, 47 were discharged after receiving treatment. Another 251 patients were still receiving treatment in Mansoura International Hospital, Talkha, Zagazig University Hospital, Tanta University Hospital and Mansoura Emergency Hospital, said Khaled al-Khatib, head of the Health Ministry's Central Administration of Critical Care. Three wounded during the violence were reportedly treated on the scene. Several Egyptian governorates witnessed violence between pro and anti-Morsy protesters, days before opposition protests will demand early presidential elections on 30 June.
