Clashes erupted on Tuesday between pro-Brotherhood students and security forces near Al-Azhar University as students threw stones at the security forces, who responded with tear gas.
Hundreds of students marched through campus, chanting slogans against the Interior Ministry in protest of the alleged death of two students in Monday's clashes at Al-Azhar University, despite the Health Ministry's announcement that no deaths occurred.
Students started a sit-in in front of all campus gates, both male and female, to disrupt study after clashes, leading to a female student breaking her arm.
Other clashes erupted between pro and anti-MB female students in Youssef Abbas street after MB supporters chanted against the army and police.
The protests comes despite assurances from Al-Azhar University administration that classes will resume as normal in all colleges in preparation for end-of-term exams.
Ten students were arrested in the clashes with security forces on Monday and a private bus was torched by demonstrators.
Students at the university have stepped up protests since a fellow student was killed on campus in clashes by security forces 21 November. The victim was a sixth year medical student named Abdel Ghany Mohamed Hamouda. Students have vowed to continue protesting until the perpetrator of Hamouda's death is brought to justice.
