| Muslim Brotherhood's headquarters in Cairo |
Several Egyptian oppositional political groups and activists have called
for the Friday protests to take place at the headquarters of Muslim
Brotherhood, situated in Mokattam. The oppositional activists claim this
protests will be against Muslim Brotherhood’s and security forces’ attacks on
the peaceful demonstrators which happened this weekend as the oppositional
groups and activists have been protesting in front of Muslim Brotherhood’s
headquarters on Saturday.
Protesters have been reportedly attacked by the young members of Muslim
Brotherhood, thus the violent clashes erupted in the area. Egypt’s security
forces have been using teargas to disperse the crowd of protesters. The clashes
repeated also on Sunday.
Oppositional activists and groups thus call for the Friday protests
against Muslim Brotherhood’s reaction and provoking violence on Saturday. There
are two demonstrations planned to take place on Friday, one of them is expected
to be held in the area close to the Muslim Brotherhood’s headquarters, and the
second one will be held right in front of the building, according to the
activists. Both of the demonstrations will start after Friday noon prayer.
Several oppositional political parties announced they will participate
in the protests. Those parties include Egyptian Social Democratic Party, Free
Egyptians Party, Constitution Party and others which have condemned the
Saturday’s and Sunday’s violence erupted between the Muslim Brotherhood member
and anti-Brotherhood protesters.
Egypt’s oppositional groups have also set their demands which include
the removal of the current Hesham Qandeel’s government, dismissal of the
current Prosecutor General, who was appointed by Egypt’s President Mohamed
Morsy, and also investigation of the killing and injuring of the protesters
during the latest clashes and justice for them. Those demands are likely to be
included in the protests planned for Friday, 22 March.
