During the past few hours, several areas in Egypt witnessed protest rallies, the first of their kind in a period of time, denouncing police violence, in addition to the authorities 'continuing demolition of citizens' homes.

In the governorate of Giza, demonstrations took place to protest the killing of the young Australian man, Islam, by a security officer in Al-Muneeb Police Station.

The demonstrators chanted slogans against the Ministry of Interior and demanded qisas.

In turn, the Public Prosecution announced, on Tuesday evening, an investigation into the killing of the Australian, and said that by looking at the body of the deceased, "it was found that there were abrasions (bruises) in separate places on his body," and assigned forensic medicine for an autopsy, and "a statement of the cause of death."

The incident sparked a wide wave of anger on the communication platforms in Egypt, as the tweeters mentioned the killing of the young Khaled Saeed by police officers about 10 years ago, an incident that ignited the spark of the January 2011 revolution.

On the other hand, a security source denied that young Islam died as a result of being assaulted by a police officer, and said that the cause of death was a heart attack after a quarrel with another person due to a financial dispute.

Egypt usually faces domestic and international criticism regarding the free hand of the police force to use deadly violence against opponents, but it has repeatedly described these incidents as "individual", stressing that those responsible will not be tolerated.

Extensive congestion


and tension continues in the country due to government decisions to demolish homes, claiming that they are in violation of the law.

Residents of Rawd al-Farag in Cairo have expressed their refusal to demolish their homes as part of this ongoing campaign.

In Alexandria (north), a number of citizens gathered on Sabaa Banat Street in the Mansheya area, and chanted slogans against President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, "We don't want you", asking him to leave during attempts to implement demolition campaigns for a number of buildings.

Video clips - broadcast by activists on social media - showed the anger of a number of citizens, and they prevented the police forces and the authorities to implement the removal decisions from advancing in the areas and reaching the buildings to be removed.

The protests come in light of calls by the artist and former army contractor Muhammad Ali for protest demonstrations on the twentieth of this month, coinciding with the anniversary of the September uprising of last year.

The hashtag (coming down on September 20) was published on the communication sites.

The demonstrations also come after a whole week in which the hashtag was issued (# Mish_Ayizek) that the Egyptians addressed to the President of the Republic in response to his recent speech in which he said that he was ready to leave if the Egyptians requested it.
