“Egyptian security forces crushed the protest camps of thousands of supporters of the deposed Islamist president on Wednesday, shooting almost 200 of them dead in the bloodiest day in decades. At least 235 people were killed in all, including at least 43 police, and 2,000 wounded. Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi defended the use of force, saying the authorities had no choice but to act to end ‘the spread of anarchy’. ‘We found that matters had reached a point that no self-respecting state could accept,’ he said in a televised address. The crowds appeared to be armed mainly with sticks, stones and concrete slabs.”
