Hundreds of demonstrators were protesting at 2 PM on Tuesday in Tahrir square, Cairo's busiest square, chanting anti-government slogans as part of the “Day of Anger” called for by Egyptian opposition and activists. The day of protest coincides with national Police Day. More than 1000 protesters marched from Ramsis Square to Tahrir Square. Eyewitnesses said that thousands of central security forces were cordoning off the protesters in the area between Omar Makram Mosque and the Egyptian Museum. Police also closed all entrances into Tahrir for both pedestrians and vehicles. To the south, around 150 protesters gathered around the Physicians Syndicate in al-Kasr al-Eini street carrying Egyptian flags and chanting “Down, down to Mubarak.” The activists were joined by pedestrians before the police intervened to cordon them off. The protesters raised banners reading: “No to dictatorship” and “We demand a minimum wage”. A small group of protesters also gathered in front of the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP)'s headquarters on the Nile Corniche chanting anti-government slogans.
