On 14 April, security forces dispersed two protests in the vicinity of Al-Istiqama mosque in Giza and Mostafa Mahmoud mosque in Mohandiseen district, using tear gas. Several protesters were arrested. The protests were over the signing of a maritime border demarcation agreement that locates the two islands of Tiran and Sanafir within Saudi territorial waters. A journalist for the daily newspaper Al-Watan, and a photographer for the daily newspaper Al-Fagr, were shot by rubber-coated bullets while covering the protest moving from the Istiqama Mosque in Giza across the river to central Cairo's Tahrir Square. |
