UC Students Removed from Egypt

After political unrest hit Egypt eight days ago (which has since turned violent), 19 UC students "and at least 13 other adults" have been evacuated. According to the UC Office of the President, "UC affiliates will remain in Barcelona until later this week when they are expected to return to California." The country's upheaval was sparked by citizens calling for the removal of president Hosni Mubarak. [Daily Cal]
