Hundreds of thousands of pro-President Morsi protesters gather at Nasr City's Rabaa Al-Adawiya Mosque; violence in the Nile Delta continues with clashes and protests in Daqahliya, Alexandria, Gharbiya, Sharqiya 19:00 Ahram Online's Reem Gehad reports that one street vendor in Tahrir Square is selling pictures of ousted president Hosni Mubarak, as well as former presidents Gamal Abdel-Nasser and Anwar El-Sadat. Activist Abdel-Rahman Mansour of the Khaled Said Facebook page has said on Twitter that he left the square after seeing pictures of Mubarak being freely distributed among protesters. “Came back from Tahrir Sq hour ago, pix of ousted Mubarak r distributed among ppl &many take them gladly. This isnt our revolution,” he wrote. Other activists have responded denying they have seen the pictures of Mubarak while in Tahrir square. Ahram Online asked several protesters what they thought of Mubarak's pictures being sold by the street vendor, but they all denied seeing any pictures. Brotherhood figures in recent weeks have increasingly stressed allegations that the opposition to Morsi is linked with the former Mubarak regime. Gehad El-Haddad, a leading FJP figure, tweets about the Tahrir Square protest that: “Photo of deceased #Muarak #NDP leader "Kamal Shazly" carried in #Anti_Morsi protests today.” 18:50 Ahram Online's Eslam Omar reports that two men accused of stealing were assaulted by some of the protesters in Rabaa Al-Adawiya. "Many other protesters were against using physical aggression against them, but some individuals beat them up," he says. "They were eventually handed over to organisers wearing helmets, who in turn interrogated them… in general, organisers are maintaining tight security." 18:45 Muslim cleric Safwat Hegazy, known for his staunch support for the Muslim Brotherhood, took the podium at the Nasr City rally to hit out at the opposition for "using deadly force against Islamists and Brotherhood members." "Who died over the past few days?" he asks, referring to several Islamists who were reported killed in clashes in different governorates recently. "The president must use an iron fist to reply to such attacks." Hegazy also has stern words for the head of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayyeb, reiterating the allegation that he assumed a high-ranking position in the now-dismantled National Democratic Party, which was led by former president Hosni Mubarak. "We would never make allies with the remnants of the former regime, unlike the opposition," Hegazy says. 18:40 Back in Cairo's Tahrir Square, it looks like the numbers of anti-Morsi protesters have reached the tens of thousands. Sameh Samir, a 33-year-old designer, tells Ahram Online's Reem Gehad that he thinks the best alternative to President Morsi is a presidential council that has both civilians and military personnel to guarantee consensus. 18:30 One person has died in the Alexandria clashes, reports state-owned agency MENA. According to Osama Abou El-Sooud, director of Alexandria university's main hospital, the protester was declared dead on his way to the hospital, after he was injured by birdshot. Another 70 injured people are being treated at the hospital. Alexandria has been witnessing violent clashes today, with the offices of the FJP in the Alexandrian district of Sidi Gabr being set on fire, leading to 40 reported injuries, according to Ahram Online's Sayyed Gamal. 18:25 Media secretary of the Socialist Popular Alliance Party, Mona Ezzat, has released a statement saying one of the party members was injured by live ammunition during clashes in Alexandria and has been transferred to hospital. According to Ezzat, two other party members, Hamed El-Borai and Mohamed Refaat, were injured by birdshot in an attack allegedly by members of the Muslim Brotherhood as they were protesting near Sidi Gaber. 18:15 Good afternoon, and welcome to the second part of Ahram Online's live blog covering Friday's protests.
