Morsi Fans Cleared from Cairo Mosque

Egyptian security forces have cleared supporters of the ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, from Cairo's al-Fath Mosque.

On Saturday, the al-Fath Mosque, located at Cairo’s central Ramses Square, was evacuated from pro-Morsi protesters after an exchange of fire between members of the Muslim Brotherhood and police.
The protesters had been holed up inside the mosque since late Friday.
Reports say security forces detained many of the protesters who were inside the mosque.
On Friday, tens of thousands of Muslim Brotherhood activists and their supporters took part in what the brotherhood called the “Friday of Rage” against the army and its hand-picked government.
According to Egypt’s Health Ministry, 173 people, including 53 security forces, were killed and 1,330 injured across the country in Friday clashes.
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood said a son of its senior leader, Mohammed Badie, was killed during fierce clashes in Cairo on the same day.
“Ammar, son of Dr. Mohammed Badie, the Supreme Guide of Muslim Brotherhood, (was) killed by live ammunition in yesterday's massacre in Ramses Square,” Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party said in a statement.
Egypt has also faced international condemnation over the death of almost 640 people who were killed on Wednesday when the security forces cleared protest camps set up by pro-Morsi supporters to demonstrate against his ouster.
On July 3, army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced that Morsi, a leading former member of the Brotherhood, was no longer in office and declared that the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mahmoud Mansour, had been appointed as the new interim president of Egypt. The army also suspended the constitution.
