A group of supporters of presidential hopeful Hazem Abu Ismail marched after Friday prayers to Tahrir Square to denounce the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and support the internal uprising within Syria.
Protesters from the group, which calls itself Hazemoun, marched from Fatah Mosque in Ramses Square, calling for the arming of the Syrian opposition.
They chanted, “There is no god but God, Bashar is the enemy of God” and “The Egyptian people want to arm the Syrian people.”
A number of Upper Egyptians joined the march, raising banners reading, “Arab rulers, O disgrace of Arabs, Upper Egyptians are coming” and “The blood of Upper Egyptians is a sacrifice for the Syrian people.”
