At least Three people were killed in Egypt Thursday as police quashed attempts by supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi to commemorate the first anniversary of a brutal Cairo *****down. On August 14, 2013, after then army chief and **w President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi had ******* Egypt's first freely elected president, the security forces set upon thousands of Morsi supporters at protest camps in Rabaa al-Adawiya and Nahda squares, leaving hundreds of people dead. In Rabaa al-Adawiya alone at least 817 people were killed, HRW said, calling for investigations into likely "crimes against humanity". On Thursday, attempts by Morsi supporters to demonstrate were swiftly suppressed, reflecting their dwindling ability to stage protests amid violent repression that has left more than 1,400 people dead since Morsi's overthrow in July 2013.
