CAIRO — Four protesters and a policeman were killed in Cairo on Thursday, the government said, one year after government forces killed hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators in the worst bloodshed in Egypt’s recent history.

The health ministry said four protesters were killed and 13 others wounded during clashes with security forces. Five people were injured in skirmishes outside the capital.

An interior ministry statement said a policeman was also killed and another one wounded. It said 114 members of the Brotherhood were arrested across the country on Thursday for protesting and rioting.

Small, hit-and-run demonstrations are the most the group can muster after a fierce security crackdown has seen many thousands arrested and hundreds sentenced to death.

The Brotherhood, once Egypt’s most organized political movement, was declared a terrorist organization last year, and its political wing was banned last week.

Violence has polarized Egyptians since the army overthrew elected Islamist President Mohamed Morsi last year following mass protests against his rule.

Hundreds of supporters of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood have been killed and thousands arrested since he was ousted, with the largest number of deaths occurring one year ago on Thursday, when security forces stormed two protest camps in Cairo.

On Aug. 14 of last year, the army violently cleared a Brotherhood sit-in at Rabia al-Adawiyya, killing hundreds of people in the process.
