Pro-Morsi Supporters Stage Cairo Protest -- Al Jazeera
Supporters of ousted president gather in neighbourhood of Egyptian capital to protest against military coup.
Thousands of supporters of Mohamed Morsi have gathered in Nasr City in the Egyptian capital to protest against his ouster as the country's president in a military coup.
The crowds are expected to swell further after Friday afternoon prayers in response to the call by a coalition of Islamist groups led by the Muslim Brotherhood for demonstrations against the coup.
