This happened when a large group of people climbed a tree to have a better view of those who spoke at the rally, and the tree broke and fell on the crowd.

The killed man, 47 years old, was one of those who climbed the tree.

All the injured people were taken to hospital.

The rally was held by the party “Muslim Brothers”, of which President Morsi is a member, and a number of other Islamists parties. The rally’s aim was to express support to President Morsi, who recently broadened his authorities by a number of decrees, after which the opposition accused him of being autocratic.
