The Army breaks up protests




The Army breaks up protests at the Lazoghly branch of the secret police, not allowing protesters to go inside like they did at the 6 October and Nasr City buildings.

This live broadcast was sent by the blogger Wael Abbas from there as well:




Protesters who gathered in Lazoghly were trying to break through barricades set up by the army leading the army to fire in the air and disperse the crowd. Two people were seen taken away by military officers. Some were reportedly injured.

Residents of Lazoghly were on the other side throwing stones at protesters and armed with knives, forcing protesters to run into side streets. The army then stood in between protesters and the armed residents forcing them to stop.

Protesters were then chased down Kasr Al-Ainy street and into Tahrir Square.
