Dozens of people marched in the streets of 6th of October, west of Cairo, Wednesday, after hearing news that former President Hosni Mubarak and his sons are to be detained for 15 days.
They marched around al-Hosari Square, raising Egyptian flags.
Mubarak and his two sons, Gamal and Alaa Mubarak, face investigations on corruption charges. The former president is suspected of being involved in decisions to shoot at pro-democracy protesters during the 25 January revolution.
Thousands of demonstrators had protested in Tahrir Square on Friday, calling for prosecution of the Mubaraks and other former regime officials.
Ali Hassan, a student and a member of the 25 January Revolution Youth Coalition, said that prosecuting Mubarak and his sons would open the door for more members of the former regime to be put on trial. He said it would reinforce people's confidence in the military and Egypt's judiciary.
Khaled Mahmoud, another student, said the prosecution represents a great victory for the Egyptian people and the start of a new phase of restoring people's rights and purging the country of corruption.
