Egyptians in street protests

THOUSANDS of Egyptians have taken to the streets to demand justice for victims of Hosni Mubarak’s regime and press the new military rulers for a clear plan of transition to democracy.

There is growing frustration among Egyptians that little has changed five months after the 18-day uprising forced the former president to step down on February 11.

Riots and protests have been escalating over what many see as the reluctance of the military rulers, who took over after Mubarak, to prosecute police and former regime officials for the killing of nearly 900 protesters during the uprising.
