STORYLINE:

On January 3rd 2014 supporters and opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood clashed in Giza as the Brotherhood renewed calls to demonstrate ahead of a key referendum later in January.

Fighting spread through heavily populated residential areas in several other cities and provinces including Cairo, Ismailia, and Alexandria.

The Health Ministry said that 6 people, including three in Cairo were killed and more than 40 injured in the protests.

A Brotherhood-led alliance said on its Facebook page that the death toll had reached 19.

The Interior Ministry said in a statement that 122 Brotherhood protesters were arrested carrying homemade grenades and Molotov cocktails.

Such scenes have been recurrent since the military ousted Mohammed Morsi in a July 3 coup after millions of anti-Islamist protesters demonstrated to demand his resignation.

The numbers of those hitting the street in support of the Brotherhood - Egypt's most organised political group - have dwindled dramatically over the past months after the military-backed interim government launched a crackdown.

Hundreds were killed when authorities broke up protest camps, thousands of Brotherhood members have been arrested and scores were sent to trial.

The government has also designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation.

Over the past months the group has changed tactics, relying more on women and student supporters to lead protests ahead of two main events.
