Two people were killed and over one hundred injured following an overnight clash at the site of an ongoing Coptic protest outside the Egyptian Radio and Television building at Maspero, Cairo. According to Mīnā Majdī, head of the political committee for the Maspero Youth Union organizing the sit-in, hundreds of thugs arrived around 12:30am and began attacking the protestors. Majdī stated the police did not involve themselves immediately, but the attack continued until 1am when police fired live ammunition into the air, and fired tear gas to disperse the attackers. Majdī relates there were around one thousand demonstrators at the time of the attack, and though the numbers have now decreased, the sit-in is continuing.
