CAIRO, Dec 17 (Aswat Masriya ) Clashes erupted between protesting students and security forces in Upper Egypt’s Minya University on Tuesday, leaving one guard wounded, according to security sources. 

Security forces fired teargas to disperse students, who support the Muslim Brotherhood, from going outside university gates and blocking a main road. The students responded by throwing stones at the forces. 

The students closed the main gates to the university earlier while staging protests on campus and demanded the release of their arrested colleagues. 

They formed human chains outside two faculties and raised banners against the army, police and constitution.
