Thousands of Egyptian protesters are expected to fill Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday, yet again urging the country's interim military leaders to institute quicker democratic reforms. The protest aims to put pressure on Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to provide a concrete timeline for the transition to civilian rule. Protesters and activists are also calling for an end to military trials for civilians. The Egyptian Interior Ministry said yesterday that it will evacuate police from the square in anticipation of the protest, saying the government respects the right to peaceful demonstrations. Meanwhile, the former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was in court again yesterday, facing charges that he ordered the killing of 850 protesters during the uprising that led to his February resignation.
