Clashes continue for 2nd day in Port Said

	Clashes continue for 2nd day in Port Said www.youtube.com Clashes continue for the second consecutive day in the canal city of Port Said as police fired intense rounds of teargas at demonstrators who opposed an interior ministry decision to transfer 39 prisoners from Port Said to Wadi Natroun prison in Beheira governorate, on the other side of the Nile Delta. The prisoners are detained on charges related to the violence at Port Said stadium in February 2012, when over 70 football club fans were killed. To denounce the heavy handed tactics of the ministry of interior, protesters in Cairo held a demo to call for the dismissal of the minister of interior and to call for retribution to all those who were killed since the second anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution. In essence, protesters accused President Mohammed Morsi of betraying the revolution as they also called for amendments to the constitution and a national unity government. On another front, prominent opposition leader Mohammed el Baradie stated on his twitter account that the current situation in the country is a recipe for disaster. Thousands of Port Said residents have been conducting a campaign of civil disobedience during the past two weeks to protest marginalization policies at the hands of the central government and to demand justice for those killed in recent clashes.
