CAIRO, Dec 11 (Aswat Masriya) At least 36 people were wounded during clashes across Egypt on Tuesday. No deaths were reported, according to a health ministry announcement.

Students supporting the Muslim Brotherhood staged protests in different universities in response to calls by the Islamist Coalition “National Alliance to Support Legitimacy" that backs deposed President Mohamed Mursi, leading to several clashes with security forces.

The authorities arrested 15 'rioters' following the clashes that took place near Cairo University and Azhar University.
