Fierce clashes have erupted between the Egyptian riot police and protesters supporting the ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, in the capital city of Cairo, security sources say.
This comes after police fired tear gas to disperse people joining the funeral of a university student killed in a protest. Fresh clashes between security forces and supporters of the ousted president have left dozens injured.
Violence also broke out after Morsi’s supporters joined protests dubbed the Retribution to denounce the new anti-protest law and demand the ousted president's reinstatement.
Under the new law, protest organizers are obliged to get permission for protests and hand in the names and addresses of all the people planning to join. The new law is under scrutiny both domestically and internationally.
Tensions in Egypt have been running high since the first democratically-elected president was ousted on July 3. Hundreds have lost their lives in the ensuing violence across the country.
