(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - According to official figures released by the ministry of health, Tahrir Square clashes have thus far left 590 injured, 75 of which were taken to nine different hospitals while the rest were treated within square. At present, only 33 cases remain in hospital.
There are 32 ambulances around the square, ready to transfer more injured.
Clashes erupted in front of the MInistry of Interior last night, as well as the Balloon Theatre in Agouza, between the martyrs’ families and police forces. The clashes soon turned violent as police forces assaulted the protestors with tear gas in front of the ministry.
Police forces continued their tear gas salvo in a bid to break the demonstrations up until 7:30 in the morning, when they withdrew from Mohamed Mahmoud Street, where most of last night’s and today’s violence occurred.
The distinct odour of tear gas can still easily smelt before one even enters the street from the direction of Tahrir Square.
