Police fire teargas at protesting youths in Egypt Police fire teargas at protesting youths in Egypt

On Wednesday, many Egyptian young people came together in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square. They threw stones and demanded that trials of former senior officials proceed more swiftly. The Egyptian police forces  fired teargas at those protesting youths.


Clashes broke out late on Tuesday in a nearby place of Cairo where families of some of the more than 800 people killed in the uprising that led to Hosni Mubarak’s overthrow in February had gathered to honour those killed ones.
“The people are angry that the court cases against top officials keep getting delayed,” Ahmed Abdel Hamid, 26, a bakery employee, said at the scene. He clutched stones in his hands.
“We want the fall of the regime,” some people chanted in the Tahrir Square.
