Clashes between security forces and university students in support of ousted Islamist President Mohamed Mursi left one student dead on Sunday in Cairo.
The students were demonstrating at the campus of Al-Azhar University, a common site of unrest in recent months.

Security forces have mounted a tough crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood, killing hundreds of its members and jailing thousands of others.
