Egyptian security forces teargas striking lower-ranking police officers in Sharqiya

Egyptian Central Security Forces (CSF) fired teargas to disperse the lower-ranking police officers who were sitting-in at Sharqiya’s Security directorate.

The lower-ranking officers, who have been on strike for economic demands since Saturday, responded by firing warning shots into the air prompting the CSF soldiers to flee the scene, a security source told Ahram Arabic news website.

Several injuries have been reported on both sides.
