Baku-APA. At least one person was shot dead and another injured on Friday in clashes between supporters and opponents of Egypt's ousted president Mohamed Morsi in the northern city of Alexandria, official Al-Ahram news website said, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
"Muslim Brotherhood members fired at residents who attempted to confront their march," Al-Ahram quoted General Nasser al-Abd, head of Alexandria's investigation department, as saying.
The protesters chanted anti-military slogans, the security official said, adding that the police then dispersed all the protests in Alexandria and arrested 30 protesters.
Morsi was ousted in early July, 2013 by the military after mass protests against his one-year rule and his Brotherhood group. Ever since, Morsi's supporters have been holding recurrent protests against the ongoing leadership, calling for Morsi's reinstatement.
Friday's protests came after a recent decision by Egypt's interim government which declared the Brotherhood as "a terrorist group."
