CAIRO: Demonstrators continue to protest today in Tahrir square, asking to speed up prosecution for figures of the former regime such as Habib el-Adly and police officers who killed demonstrators during the Battle of the Camel. Their demands also included canceling military courts, forming a new constitution before holding elections, increasing the minimum wage, and supporting the families of the martyrs of the January 25 Revolution. The demonstrators burned the Israeli flag at Tahrir square, and denounced the crimes that Israel committed against Palestinians. They also called for the boycott of American products because of America's support to Israel. The demonstrators held yellow cards that opposed Prime Minister Essam Sharaf's government and said it was following in the footsteps of the former regime. Family members of the victims of the revolution also held a sit-in today in front of the Egyptian television headquarters, Maspiro. They issued a statement that demanded the trial of those responsible for the killings of the demonstrators. They also demanded the merger of the crime committed by the former President with the crime committed by Habib el-Adly as crime case 1227. They asked the court to examine this case and to imprison all police members who are accused of killing the demonstrators during the January 25 Revolution. They also demanded that former Ministers Ahmed Nazif, Anas el-Feki, Tarek Kamel, and Hatem el-Gabali are charged as well for killing the demonstrators. They asked to broadcast the court ruling on air for transparency. Demonstrators at Maspiro also demanded the state to support those injured during the revolution by offering them medical treatment and pensions. Another sit-in was held in front of Maspiro by hundreds of workers and poultry farm owners. They demanded canceling article 70 2009, which prevents transferring alive poultry from one governorate to another. They blocked the way in front of Maspiro, and said they will not leave until the article is cancelled. In addition, demonstrators of El Salam camps continued their sit-in in front of Maspiro. This was started 20 days ago in order to receive housing units promised to them by the Egyptian government.
