A protester was killed in clashes between protesters and the police in an Egyptian village south of Cairo on Saturday night, and the participants of the rally demanded the removal of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi from power, reports Hina.
Over the last few days, more than a dozen Protestants have organized small gatherings in Egyptian villages, thus expressing their dissatisfaction with the work of the government.
"The body of the shot man was taken to the hospital on Saturday," said a source from Al-Ayat Hospital in Giza.
Police say she didn't shoot
The police claim that their members did not shoot at the protesters, but used tear gas to disperse them.
Protests in Egypt have been banned since 2013, when then-President Mohamed Morsi was ousted from power, and a state of emergency has been in place since 2017.
Similar smaller protests have been taking place since Mohamed Ali, an entrepreneur in exile, recently called on Egyptians to take to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the way the government and Sisi are operating.
Ali is a construction entrepreneur who burst onto the Egyptian political scene last year, when he began posting videos that quickly went viral on social media accusing Egypt's president and military elite of corruption.
