Demonstrations renewed in several Egyptian regions for the fifth consecutive day in protest against the deteriorating living conditions, amid calls for demonstrations under the slogan "Friday of Wrath of the 25th of September", while pictures were published showing security forces shooting demonstrators on Wednesday evening in Giza Governorate.
Demonstrations took place in several villages in the governorates of Giza and Beni Suef, south of Cairo, during which the demonstrators expressed their anger at what happened in the recent period, especially after the start of the campaign of demolishing the violating homes ordered by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
Demonstrators chanted against Sisi, demanding his departure, amid calls for demonstrations called "The Friday of September 25 Wrath."
Egyptian activists broadcast a video of the Central Security Forces soldiers firing live bullets with automatic firearms to disperse demonstrators last Wednesday evening in the village of Kafr Qandil in Giza Governorate.
The demonstrators clashed with the soldiers and threw stones at them during the dispersal of a protest in the village, as dozens of village residents came out to demand the departure of Sisi, and condemned the military rule.
On the other hand,
the Bar Association,
on the other hand, organized a protest stand by dozens of lawyers in front of the General Bar Association in downtown Cairo, denouncing the application of the value-added tax law to them.
The lawyers said that they provide a service of justice and defend the Egyptian people. They do not sell a commodity that requires the submission of a value-added tax and put obstacles in the way of carrying out their legal and constitutional duties.
Lawyers had organized a previous sit-in last Thursday, calling on the General Bar Council to hold an emergency session to stop the implementation of the law, which they described as a collection law, and threatening escalatory steps in the event that it was not stopped.
