Egypt's Morsi supporters hold 'million-man march' Wednesday
2013-07-18
[Al Ahram] Egypt's Freedom and Justice Party has announced that it will hold a million-man march on Wednesday after Tarawih, night prayers during the month of Ramadan, which ends between 10 and 11pm.

The marches, dubbed as a day of "determination" and calling for the release and reinstatement of deposed president Mohamed Morsi, will kick off from several locations in Egypt's capital.

One march will move from Rabaa Al-Adawya Mosque in Cairo's Nasr City, where Islamists have been staging a sit-in for almost 18 days, to the nearby Republican Guard headquarters in Cairo's Heliopolis district.

Last week, a confrontation between military personnel and pro-Morsi demonstrators outside the Republican Guard building left over 50 protesters killed.

Two marches will leave from Al-Istiqama Mosque in Giza and Al-Asad Ibn El-Furat Mosque in Cairo's Dokki district and will head to Giza's Nahda Square.

Mubashir Misr reported that another march is on its way to the High Constitutional Court in Cairo's Maadi district.

Earlier on Wednesday, minor scuffles were reported in front of the Cabinet building in downtown Cairo after Morsi supporters marched there to denounce the newly-appointed government officials.
