Thousands of Ultras Ahlawy members, hardcore fans of al-Ahly Club, stormed the Gezira Police Club in Cairo and set fire to some of its contents in objection to a court ruling issued earlier on the Port Said stadium massacre. Civil defense forces are still trying to put out the flames. Earlier, the criminal court upheld a previous death penalty ruling against 21 defendants, sentenced others to terms between 10 years and life imprisonment and acquitted 28 more over the incident, which left 72 dead and 254 injured. Some of the acquitted are senior police officers. The Port Said stadium carnage occurred in February 2012 following a soccer match when fans, allegedly of the local al-Masry team, assaulted supporters of rival al-Ahly. Clashes between Ultras Ahlawy and Green Eagles, the hard core fans of al-Ahly and al-Masry respectively, have been common in the past few months.
