The student union at Cairo University supported the decision, saying it “will not allow any political side to use the university [as a platform] or drag it [into political conflicts] like other universities,” adding that whoever violates this decision will be punished. “Any activity or announcement that aims to publicise any parliamentary, presidential or political candidate will be prohibited,” the union said.
