Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has said that it plans to hold a march in Cairo on Thursday, one day after security forces mounted a violent crackdown on its members, leaving hundreds dead.
"Marches will launch this afternoon from Al-Eman mosque to protest the deaths," the Islamist group said in a statement.
On Wednesday, supporters of toppled President Mohamed Morsy gathered before al-Eman mosque in Nasr City to stage another sit-in to replace the one at Rabaa al-Adaweya Square, dispersed by security forces on Wednesday
Supporters chanted slogans such as "Down with military rule" and "Police are thugs."
State-owned news agency MENA reported that part of the mosque was converted into a field hospital to treat the wounded, injured during the dispersal of the Rabaa al-Adaweya sit-in.
