Flickr photographer Ester Meerman took these photos during the violence and protests in Cairo on Wednesday, Aug. 14. See more of her photos here.

She writes: "Clashes erupted in several neighbourhoods in Cairo after security forces dispersed the Muslim Brotherhood sit-ins at Rabaa Al Adaweyya in Nasr City and Nahda Square in Giza. Pro-Morsi supporters were quick to set up a new sit-in in front of the Mostafa Mahmoud mosque in the Cairo neighbourhood of Mohandiseen, where clashes erupted between protesters and riot police."
