How brave!

Soldiers stormed a protest camp outside Egypt's Cabinet building today, prompting clashes with demonstrators calling for an end to military rule. The violence came just as officials were counting votes from the second round of the country's parliamentary elections. Demonstrators have now been camped outside the Cabinet building for three weeks, demanding that the country's military rulers transfer power immediately to a civilian authority. One activist posted a photo online of a female protester beaten in the skirmishes, and others said they were briefly detained by military police.
