Egypt soccer riot leaves more than two dozen dead

A riot Sunday night broke out outside a major soccer game in Cairo leading to a stampede and as many as 25 deaths.  The match between Egyptian Premier League clubs Zamalek and ENPPI came just three years after a similar riot killed 74 people.

Fans blame the violence that sparked clashes on security and police actions that included tear gas and bird shot.  The Zamlek fans, who are known as White Knights, say that they were not allowed into the match due to security concerns that were related to previous violence.  Turmoil in Egypt has been ongoing, and the inevitable violations of human rights are also political in nature.  Two recent Egyptian presidents, Hosni Mubarek in 2011, and Mohammed Morsi in 2013, were forced out of office in violent takeovers.
