Egypt artists stage second anti-Morsi march to Tahrir Square
 [Al Ahram] Egyptian artists gathered once again outside the culture ministry in Cairo's Tamale district, later walking towards Tahrir Square to join a massive crowd gathered there. Protesters' demanded that President Mohamed Morsi step down and that the Moslem Brüderbund be removed from power.Tuesday's march comes only two days after artists and intellectuals staged the largest protest march since the January 2011 revolution. Though this time smaller in size, the march still counted several hundreds and was met with cheers by passers-by as the crowd walked through 26 July Street, through Saray El-Gezira Street along the Nile towards Qasr El-Nil Bridge from where it entered Tahrir Square. The march included artists of all generations and fields: filmmakers, theatre makers, musicians and visual artists, among others. The protesters were led by a car with speakers, as artists sang patriotic songs and stopped occasionally to sing the Egyptian national anthem. Posted by: Fred 2013-07-03 |
