Medical sources in Egypt say repression before the dawn of the army on demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir square has killed two people and left at least 15 wounded.
Television State cited Saturday in Ministry of health of the Egypt as saying that a person died and 71, others were injured.
Military police swept in the square, swinging batons and fired shots, at about three o'clock in the morning to clear the demonstrators defying a curfew as they rallied against the former and current leaders.? Witnesses say police beat the demonstrators, and blood could be seen in the streets Saturday at the start.
Military power of the Egypt Council issued a statement indicating the police confront the rioters and try to enforce curfew, blaming the violence on outlaws.
Saturday afternoon, at least 1,000 demonstrators were returned to the square and seemed to put objects in the road to block traffic.
Egyptians have grown frustrated with the military leaders of the country who took control of the country.? Demonstrators Friday called for the withdrawal of the field marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who heads the military Council.
Demonstrators formed a human wall to protect several army officers who joined the demonstrations Friday against the orders of the armed forces.
The demonstration was one of the largest in the Egyptian capital, since former President Hosni Mubarak was forced to resign on 11 February.
Demonstrators have accused the army to protect Mubarak, who lives with his family under house arrest in the seaside resort of Sharm el-Sheikh Red Sea.? Protesters want him to be tried for corruption.
