Cairo square protesters seek officials to be tried

PRO-DEMOCRACY activists have pitched their tents once again in Cairo’s Tahrir Square to push for political reforms and to demand that officials found guilty of abuse be brought to justice.

After violent clashes in central Cairo that left over 1,000 people injured, dozens of activists spent a calm night in the square which was the epicentre of protests that toppled president Hosni Mubarak in February.

“We will stay in the square until guilty police officers are tried,” Mossaad Shahrur said.
