An Egyptian demonstrator was killed on Saturday in a protest calling for the departure of Egypt’s ruling military council. Clashes erupted outside Egypt’s defense ministry after unidentified military supporters rushed the crowd. A demonstrator said the protest had been peaceful until it was attacked.

Protester: “We are here staging a peaceful sit-in, continuing our revolution, conveying our demands. Unfortunately, we saw the thugs that the military let loose on us, who attacked people and gave people very grave injuries. There has been news of deaths, but we will continue, and they will not terrorize us. This is a new battle, which we will continue, and if they don’t respond, we will escalate our efforts.”
