Student protesters at Al-Azhar University detained Al-Masry Al-Youm photojournalist Omar Saher Sunday during on-campus clashes between supporters and opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Clashes took place after student supporters of Defense Minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi raised signs with pro-Sisi slogans at the Faculty of Physical Education.
Some students at the Faculty of Education reportedly attempted to assault someone recording the incident on his mobile phone.
Dozens of Al-Azhar University students staged protests Sunday outside the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Faculty of Languages and Translation, preventing employees and students from accessing the buildings. First-year student exams at the Faculty of Languages and Translation were suspended due to the protests.
