Crowds of Egyptians packed Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square on Tuesday for a mass demonstration to protest against verdicts handed down in ex-president Hosni Mubarak's murder trial. Thousands of marchers poured into the square led by the runners-up in last months's presidential election first round - Hamdeen Sabbahi, Abdel Moneim Abul Fotouh and Khaled Ali - to join thousands already in the square.
In Tahrir, demonstrators chanted against the ruling military council and vowed to keep their revolution alive. "Revolutionaries, free, we will continue our journey," they chanted. "We want a just ruling in the trial of Mubarak and the police chiefs," said Abdel Wahab, a builder who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood.
