Egypt syndicates withdraw financial aid to revolution victims

Egypt's professional syndicates are being cleansed of pro-Muslim Brotherhood boards and no longer delivering payments to those who were injured or lost family members in the revolution.

Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi pray on the street during a protest against the military and interior ministry around Ain Shams square in east Cairo February 7, 2014. Two explosive devices detonated on Friday near a police checkpoint in Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo, wounding six people, the government and security sources said.
