In Egypt, huge protests rally have been organised in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, demanding swifter reforms and speedy trials of former tainted ministers. According to Egypt’s online media Al Ahram, the protests are the result of growing frustration due to slow pace of political reforms and acquittal of three former ministers charged with corruption. The acquittals triggered a series of riots that turned up the heat on Egypt's leaders this week. Several political parties and groups have supported the protests, which has been named as ‘Friday of final warning’.In a bid to defuse rising anger, the Interior Ministry sacked nearly 600 police officials including high-ranking police officers on 13th July for their role in the harsh crackdown on anti-government protests earlier this year. Interior Minister Mansour Al Essawi said in a statement that it was the largest shake up in the history of his ministry. According to a fact-finding commission, at least 846 people were killed and more than 6,000 injured in the 18-day uprising against Mubarak.
