The presidency is holding an international press conference on Saturday at 3 p.m. Cairo Time to explain the situation.
Journalists and news agencies, accredited at the presidency or not, would be allowed to cover the conference.
Clashes between supporters of deposed President Mohamed Morsy and security forces had erupted in Cairo and a number of provinces, in protest against the dispersal of the Rabaa al-Adaweya and al-Nahda sit-ins, which killed 578 people and injured more than 4000.
The National Alliance to Support Legitimacy and Reject the Coup organized 28 marches out of all mosques after the Friday prayers to head to Ramsis Square in Cairo to protest the coup. The clashes left at least 40 dead and hundreds wounded. The Muslim Brotherhood called for a week of daily marches nationwide to protest the coup and the "military's massacres".
