Mahmoud Farouk, a local security official, said on Friday that “tens of Brotherhood supporters” marched following Friday prayers in the town of Talbiyah and attempted to block the road. The police forces have to interfere to dismiss the crowd and arrested some extremists.
Dozens of Muslim Brotherhood supporters in Helwan staged a march after Friday prayers in response to the pro-legitimacy alliance call for protests against sentencing toppled President Mohamed Morsi and MB leaders to death. The protesters chanted against the police, the army and President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, raising Rabaa signs and pictures of Morsi. The police dispersed the march with tear gas and arrested tens of MB supporters.
