A student was killed on Cairo university’s campus last Monday as state forces attacked pro-Muslim Brotherhood protesters.
Two journalists were shot while covering the student unrest. The journalists union is set to protest over the attack.
Another man was shot dead by police inside a police station as he went to post bail for a Brotherhood supporter.
