Cairo clashes after police freed
Clashes have broken out at a Cairo courthouse after seven police officers accused of killing protesters earlier this year were released on bail, BBC reported.
After scuffling with guards at the courthouse, hundreds of people then blocked the highway to Suez.
The police officers allegedly killed 17 people in Suez during protests that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak.
Mr Mubarak and his sons Alaa and Gamal are due to go on trial in August over the deaths of protesters.
The clashes were the latest unrest in Egypt after police and protesters fought in Cairo's Tahrir Square last week, leaving hundreds of people injured.
