The April 6 Youth Movement Democratic Front organized marches on Monday in Damietta Governorate to condemn assaults on protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
Marches passed through Damietta's streets and its corniche. Participants held banners demanding the formation of a civil presidential council.
In Beheira, political groups staged a march of around 3000 people to condemn the attacks on Tahrir protesters.
Launched from Sa’aa Square in Damanhour, it passed through the city’s main squares. Protesters chanted slogans against the Interior Ministry and the ruling military council and called for a handover of power.
In a statement, the movement demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Essam Sharaf’s cabinet, and that Interior Minister Mansour al-Essawy be questioned about the Tahrir violence.
Five people were injured, including three central security personnel, in Qena following clashes among police and protesters outside the governorate's security directorate building. Protesters attempted to break into the building, while police fired tear gas to disperse them.
