Baku-APA. Supporters of the ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi took to the streets in several marches across the capital Cairo in the face of police brutality, state- run Ahram website reported on Tuesday, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
Different marches from Ramses Square and al-Nour mosque downtown headed to Rabaa Al Adawiya Square in Cairo, while hundreds of demonstrators who gathered at al-Nahda Square in front of Cairo University marched to embassies of Saudi Arabia and UAE to protest against the Gulf states' support for the armed forces to oust Morsi.
Dozens of women in another march were seen carrying symbolic coffins in Ismailia governorate outside its security headquarters, and the clashes between Morsi's supporters and opponents left more than 18 injured.
Other marches headed to the defense ministry, but they were stopped by the armed forces which blocked the road with barbed wire.
The National Alliance to Support Legitimacy, a pro-Morsi Islamism coalition mainly from Muslim Brotherhood, has called for million-people march on Tuesday to condemn deadly crackdown by the police over the peaceful protesters.
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo warned in a message on its citizens on Tuesday against demonstrations by pro-MB supporters, official news agency MENA reported.
The embassy informed its citizens that some protesters gathering in al-Nahda and Rabaa Al Adawiya were planning to move towards some foreign embassies, likely in the Garden City area, where the embassy located. The U.S. embassy closed Tuesday earlier at 2:00 p.m. (local time) over concerns of confrontations that could possibly escalate into violence.
