CAIRO, Feb 15 (KUNA) -- Thousands of Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi
supporters started pouring into Nahadat Misr Square, near Cairo University, to
participate in a mass rally against political violence amid preparations from
rival groups and political forces to hold anti-Morsi protest near the
Presidential Palace.
Nahadat Misr rally, themed "Together Against Violence", is organized by the
Building and Development Party, the political arm of the Jammat Islamiyah, to
denounce recent violence and attacks allegedly carried out by the opposition
supporters on state institutions, specially the Presidential Palace.
Over a dozen of Islamist parties and groups are partaking in the
anti-violence rally, including the Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group which
announced that its participation in the rally will be "symbolic."
Meanwhile over 38 opposition movements, mainly liberals and leftists, have
called for a protest outside a presidential palace in eastern Cairo to protest
against what they call Morsi's failure to fulfill the objectives of the
revolution that brought him to power. (end)
