Statements about the number of protesters arrested by police in Tuesday's "Day of Anger" demonstrations remain contradictory.
An Interior Ministry source said that 500 protesters had been arrested in cities throughout the country, while one policeman was killed in clashes with demonstrators and 103 others injured.
But according to the Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights, there have been a total of 1000 protest-related arrests, 179 of which have since been confirmed by the center. The names and locations of the rest, however, remain unknown.
The center also stated that 350 protesters had been injured in Suez alone.
