At least two confirmed deaths in Egypt violence
Published in Bikya Masr on 05 - 12 - 2012

CAIRO: Egyptian activists and political groups confirmed the death of two anti-President Mohamed Morsi protesters around the Presidential Palace after Muslim Brotherhood members and supporters attacked the two and killed them.
The two murdered protesters are Karam Gerges and Mohamed Essam.
Activists shared photos of the two dead men with blood covering their faces and bodies. Al-Tayar Al-Shaabi, the popular current revolutionary movement confirmed the protesters death.
The armed Brotherhood supporters were reported to have used knives, broken glass, Molotov cocktails, rubber bullets and live ammunition to disperse the opposition sit-in that followed a massive protest outside the presidential palace late on Tuesday, calling for Morsi to step down.
Over 200 people have been injured as Muslim Brotherhood supporters continue to attack Egyptian activists who had been protesting against President Mohamed Morsi.
The ministry of health continues to update the number, although they have not reported any deaths at around 10 PM Wednesday evening.
The Brotherhood's political arm Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) has claimed one of their members was killed in the violence. An anti-Morsi protester has also been reportedly killed, although this has not been confirmed by Bikyamasr.com.
Thousands of supporters of Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi violently attacked and threw out protesters who had gathered by the presidential palace on Wednesday, taking down their tents.
The president's opponents had announced a sit-in on Tuesday against a constitutional decree issued by Morsi and a draft constitution written by an Islamist-dominated assembly.
Clashes erupted between opponents and supporters earlier where they hurled stones at each other and chanted opposing slogans.
The violence continues into Tuesday evening, in what activists have described to Bikyamasr.com as “sad," “shocking" and “unbelievable."
The Brotherhood supporters were heard screaming “Allah Akbar" as they rushed forward in wave after wave of attack against the protesters against Morsi.
