Students supporting deposed president Mohamed Morsy have called for massive marches to al-Azhar University, where police and pro-Muslim Brotherhood students clashed earlier Saturday.
MENA quotes security sources saying the number of students arrested in Saturday's protests rose to 101. Students were caught with fireworks, Molotov cocktails and a BB gun.
The group called upon colleagues at Ain Shams University to march from their university to Al-Azhar in solidarity with Muslim Brotherhood students to "lift the siege on them and stop the terrorist coup's assaults" as the group put it on its facebook page Saturday.
"Students Against the Coup calls upon the free students of Egypt to gather outside the main building of Ain Shams University at 1pm to march to Al-Azhar University,", claiming that "three student martyrs died by the malicious coup's gunshots in campus". The statement added that assaults on female students and fires set at the university "will not be tolerated".
One student was killed in Al-Azhar clashes and four others injured when security intervened to put out fires flared by students at Faculty of Commerce, according to AFP who quoted Khaled al-Khatib, head of the Health Ministry's emergency service.
AFP spoke to sources at the Health Insurance Hospital in Nasr City, who said the victim was 19-year-old Islam, though they did not give the reason of death.
In related news, Nasr City prosecution is interrogating 13 al-Azhar students after allegedly arresting them with LE7,000 in their possession. The students are facing charges of rioting, blocking traffic.
