BREAKING: Anti-military protesters enter Tahrir for first time since Morsi's ouster Small group of protesters take over newly-inaugurated monument to slain revolutionaries, and chant slogans against the military, Mubarak and the Muslim Brotherhood
Dozens of members of pro-revolutionary groups have entered Tahrir Square for the first time since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi on 3 July. Protesters mounted a controversial memorial for protesters slain during the revolution and spray-painted slogans on the monument, demanding retribution for "all the martyrs" and "down with the military regime," and "down with all those who betrayed the revolution: the miltary, Mubarak's people, and the Brotherhood." The memorial had been inaugurated on Monday morning by Prime Minister Hazem El-Beblawi. The protesters had split off from a larger event taking place in nearby Abdeen Square, commemorating the second anniversary of the Mohamed Mahmoud Street clashes between security forces and revolutionaries in November 2011, which left 47 protesters dead and hundreds injured. Aroudn 3,000 people attended the commemoration near the house of Gaber "Jika" Salah, who was killed during clashes that took place during the first anniversary of the Mohamed Mahmoud clashes in 2012. The square has been closed to demonstrations since the ousting of President Mohamed Morsi with two exceptions. The public were allowed to show support for army chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi in his efforts against terrorism on 26 July and were also allowed into the square to celebrate the 1973 war against Israel on 6 October. An attempt by pro-Muslim Brotherhood protesters to rally in Tahrir on 1 October was thwarted by local street vendors and shop owners, who dispersed the group. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/86862.aspx
