CAIRO | Thu Jul 4, 2013 12:30pm EDT
(Reuters) - An Islamist coalition led by the Muslim Brotherhood appealed to
Egyptians on Thursday to demonstrate across the nation in a "Friday of
Rejection" against a military coup that ousted elected President Mohamed
Mursi.
The National Coalition in Support of Legitimacy "calls on the Egyptian
people to take to the streets and mobilize peacefully" after Friday prayers
"to say 'No' to military detentions, 'No' to the military coup".
The call was issued at a news conference at a mosque in suburban Cairo where
Mursi supporters have staged a sit-in since last week. Troops with armored
vehicles have surrounded the area since Wednesday, when Mursi was toppled,
but have not intervened to clear the protesters.
