Thousands of people have filled Tahrir Square to call for Egypt’s military government to harshly punish members of ex—President Hosni Mubarak’s former administration.
The demonstration, dubbed “Friday for the Rescue of the Revolution,” was organized by the Youth Revolution Coalition, a group founded by the young activists who started the January 25 protests that led to the ouster of Mr. Mubarak’s rule.
The protest today calls for execution of remaining members of Mr. Mubarak’s regime, namely Fathi Serour, the former parliament speaker, Zakariya Azmi, head of the presidential palace, and Safwat al—Sherif, the former secretary general of the ruling party.
They also call for swift measures to bring back money and assets, taken over by Mr. Mubarak and his men from abroad.
