One protester has been killed and 676 others injured as Egyptian police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to break up a sit-in in the capital Cairo, health ministry says, Press TV reported.
Protesters and riot police clashed in Cairo's Tahrir square Saturday, after police dispersed a sit-in by demonstrators demanding the ruling military transfer power swiftly to a civilian government.
The police pulled down tents of about 100 protesters who had camped in the square overnight after a demonstration Friday of about 50,000 people, mostly Islamists, against the military leadership.
The action prompted around 5,000 protesters to return and clashes broke out.
