Speaker Mohamed El-Nabawy had to be ushered off stage by security guards when around 30 demonstrators stormed a lecture theatre at Bloomsbury’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), which is part of the University of London.

The movement played a key role in the ousting of Muslim Brotherhood-backed Morsi in June this year.
