Cairo protests turn fatal

At least one person has died after protesters and police clashed in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

According to Al Jazeera, protesters gathered on Tuesday to mark the two-year anniversary of the 2011 demonstrations. Police used tear gas and birdshot to disperse the crowd filling the square.

On Monday, protesters vandalized a recently inaugurated monument to those killed in the 2011 protests. A protester said that they need the trials of those responsible for the 2011 deaths, and not celebrations.

At least 43 people were killed and more than 3000 wounded in the 2011 protests against the regime of President Hosni Mubarak.
