30 students wounded in Egypt clashes

Nearly 30 students have been wounded in clashes between supporters and opponents of Egypt’s ousted President Mohamed Morsi at three universities.

According to Egyptian state media and security sources, fighting between groups for and against Morsi broke out on Sunday.
Security sources said at least 12 students were wounded in clashes at Cairo’s Ain Shams University.
The state news agency reported that 15 people were injured when rival students at Zagazig University fought.
Meanwhile, state-owned newspaper Al Ahram said that unknown gunmen shot at students marching and chanting anti-military slogans in the city of Zagazig which is located in northeast of Cairo.
Sources also said that clashes at a university in the Nile Delta city of Tanta left two people wounded.
Egyptian students have held several pro-Morsi demonstrations across the country since the start of the new academic year on September 21, demanding his reinstatement.
Morsi, who was Egypt’s first democratically elected president, was ousted by the army after one year in office on July 3. The move sparked nationwide protests, which lasted for weeks.
