 Clashes erupted Tuesday between student supporters of Egypt's oustedIslamist president Mohamed Morsi and security forces in several cities, wounding atleast 33 people, the health ministry said.The violence came as registration of candidates for the May 26-27 presidentialelection entered its second day, with former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who ledMorsi's ouster last July, widely expected to win.At least 31 people were hurt when students of Al-Azhar University's branch in thesouthern city of Assuit clashed with security forces, officials said. Fighting was also reported at Cairo's Ein Shams University, while police fired teargas in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria and in the central city of Mansoura aspro-Morsi students clashed with security forces.Two people were wounded in similar fighting in the Nile Delta city of Damanhur.Violence erupts regularly at universities, which Morsi supporters use to challengethe military-installed authorities.On Tuesday, Cairo's Al-Azhar University expelled 25 students, blaming them forviolence the previous day.In a separate incident in Damanhur on Tuesday, three Sisi supporters were hurt bypro-Morsi students.The two groups clashed when Sisi's supporters had gone to register their backing forhis presidential candidacy.Every candidate has to procure the signatures of at least 25,000 backers to formallyregister for the election.At least 1,400 people have been killed in street clashes, mostly Islamist supporters ofMorsi, since his ouster, rights group Amnesty International says.Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a "terrorist organisation" by theauthorities and by Saudi Arabia.On Tuesday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said he had ordered aninvestigation into the Brotherhood over concerns the group is linked to violent extremism.
