Islamist students protesting Gaza blockade clash with Cairo police
By Reuters
Tags: Muslim Brotherhood 

Hundreds of Islamist students demanding an end to the blockade of Gaza clashed with riot police outside Cairo University on Wednesday and students said nine of their colleagues were injured.

Riot police hit the demonstrators with wooden batons and some of the students hit back with their own sticks, Reuters photographer and witness Nasser al-Nouri said.

The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition group, has been campaigning for months against the blockade of Gaza, a territory controlled by its allies in Hamas.

The Egyptian government cooperates with the Israeli blockade, mainly to prevent Israel from transferring to Egypt full responsibility for supplying Gaza.

The Brotherhood and other opposition groups have tried to arrange convoys of humanitarian aid from Egypt to Gaza but the Egyptian police have stopped them en route and sent them back.
