Here's a summary of this afternoon's main events:
• Violence is intensifying in Cairo as thousands of
supporters and opponents of Morsi clash on
the 6 October bridge near Tahrir Square.
Fireworks, molotov cocktails and birdshot were used
in clashes between the groups.
Even with the violence,
there are no reports of army or police intervention.
• The supreme leader of the Muslim Brotherhood,
Mohammed Badie,
addressed a large crowd of pro-Morsi supporters
in Cairo and said that military rule
will never come back to Egypt. His appearance
was a surprise because of earlier reports
saying he had been arrested.
He said those accusations are lies.
• At least 10 people have died in the clashes
and 210 people have been injured,
according to the Associated Press.
• More than 80 women were victims of sexual assault
in the vicinity of Tahrir Square during Wednesday’s rallies.
There have been at least 169 counts of
sexual mob crime since protests
against Morsi began on Sunday.
• Interim president Adli Mansour issued a decree
to dissolve the upper house of Egypt’s parliament –
the shura council. The 100-member panel is
the only body in Egypt with legislative powers
and the body drafted Egypt’s constitution in December 2012.
• Turkey’s prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
condemned the ousting of Morsi and called it
a threat to democracy. "Those who rely on the gun
s in their hands, those who rely on the power of
the media cannot build democracy,” Erdogan said.
He also criticized the West for refusing to call the ousting a coup.
