Cairo: At least 16 people have been killed and over thousand others injured in clashes as protests against Egypt’s military rulers entered third day on Monday.
Security forces and police have used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters who had gathered at Tahrir Square.
Similar anti-junta rallies were held in other Egyptian cities including Alexandria, Suez and Ismailia.
The country’s military council has threatened protesters with a tougher response if they continue their demonstrations.
Earlier this month, Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister Ali al-Silmi showed a draft copy of a revised constitution to political groups which would give the military exclusive authority over its internal affairs and budget and would also shield the armed forces from legal scrutiny.
