Tahrir protests back in Cairo to renew the revolution Thousands of Egyptians gather in Tahrir today calling for releasing activists and trials of previous regime figures
Egyptian activists and revolutionaries are gathering today in Tahrir square in a Friday protest called “Renewing the revolution and in memory of the martyrs.” Thousands have gathered so far, calling for the release of political prisoners and trials of corrupt regime figures, including ousted president Hosni Mubarak and his two sons. Some protesters are also calling for national unity in response to recent sectarian violence. Protesters agreed to wear black and march to Qasr el-Nil bridge as a tribute to those that lost their lives in the revolution. The bridge was the site of the most dramatic battles between security forces and protesters on Friday, 28 January during the Egyptian revolution. Chants in Tahrir Square reveal that protesters feel their revolution is not going in the desired direction: “We are coming back on 27 May;” “we don't feel the change; we are going back to Tahrir.” In flyers distributed in Tahrir square today, revolutionaries insist that Mubarak and his family and corrupt regime figures be tried for their crimes, even if they return all the stolen money to the country. Protesters were circled by military police today.
