Egypt’s police, in cooperation with the army, have put together a plan to secure squares across the country on Saturday, which marks the anniversary of the January 25 uprising, Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim said on Monday.
“The Interior Ministry has monitored calls by the Muslim Brotherhood to protest on January 25,” Ibrahim said in a press conference and “vowed to secure all assemblies that the authorities had been notified with, in accordance with the new protest law.”
The National Alliance to Support Legitimacy , which backs deposed President Mohamed Mursi, has called for week-long rallies starting Friday, in preparation for the third anniversary of the January uprising.
The Interior Minister described the protests staged by students supporting the Brotherhood as “riots”. He added that the forces will withdraw from all universities immediately after the semester finals end.
He said that the student who was killed in Cairo University during violent confrontations on Thursday “was shot and died before the police entered campus.”
