UN human rights chief Navi Pillay condemns Cairo deaths
UN human rights chief Navi Pillay has condemned the "clearly excessive use of force" by Egypt's security forces during clashes with protesters. Ms Pillay called for an independent inquiry into the deaths of at least 35 people since the weekend. Protesters are still occupying Cairo's Tahrir Square despite the pledge of a speedier handover to civilian rule.
