Egypt
- Tens of thousands of angry protesters have camped in city squares across Egypt, calling for the sacking of the former regime's remnants, including the head of Egypt's Military
Council. The demonstrators blocked traffic and formed picket lines outside the government complexes in central Cairo on Sunday.
They have launched an open strike in Cairo and other big cities, threatening to escalate their protests unless their demands are met.
The protesters are demanding public trials for ousted president Hosni Mubarak and those behind the killing of hundreds of protesters during the
revolution. They also want Head of Egypt's Military Council Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi to resign and hand over power to a civilian
government. Many are complaining that more and more civilians are being tried in military courts while members of Mubarak's regime have not yet faced
justice. The fresh protests come as Egypt's ruling military junta has freed a number of policemen accused of involvement in the killings. People accuse the judiciary of
corruption.
