Activists expect big turnout for anti-military protest in Tahrir

Youth groups, political parties and independent activists plan to gather in Tahrir Square on Friday, 30 September to protest the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces’ (SCAF) recent decision to extend the Emergency Law, as well as its recent changes to the laws regulating upcoming parliamentary elections.
Dubbed the “Friday of Reclaiming the Revolution,” activists expect that the demonstration will be the largest in months. Weekly gatherings in Tahrir have taken place since the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak in February.http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/node/500513
