Several countries see demos over Egypt

On Thursday, Libyan protesters held a demonstration in front of the Egyptian embassy in the capital Tripoli.
 
“We came here in a protest and to stand in front of the Egyptian embassy expressing our outrage over the falling innocents; their only fault was they expressed an opinion,” said a protester during the rally.
 
Another one said “I came today as a human. What happened in Raba'a and in Egypt in general is not acceptable by any human.”
 
Similar protests took place outside the Egyptian consulate in Libya’s eastern city of Benghazi.
 
Protesters carried banners reading “Revenge, revenge on killers of children and women.”
 
On the same day, member of Muslim Brotherhood in Libya, Sa'ad al- Jazwi, issued a statement saying “What made us stand in solidarity with our brothers in Egypt is because it's a humanitarian case the whole world reacted to, the destruction of a peaceful sit-in … We condemn it.”
 
In Pakistan, thousands of Pakistanis took to the streets in the southern port city of Karachi and the northwestern city of Peshawar to condemn recent violence in the North African country.
 
General Secretary of Islami Jamiat Talaba, who organized the rally, Umair Saeed said in a statement that “It is tyranny that the government of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood has been deposed in Egypt. Above it, it is the height of tyranny that thousands of innocent citizens are being martyred there. We strongly condemn it. We demand our government to raise this issue with the United Nations.”
 
Moreover, thousands of Yemenis gathered near the Egyptian embassy in Sana’a to express their anger over the brutal killings of pro-Morsi protesters in Egypt.
 
Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakul Karman also condemned the attack saying in a statement that “What we see now is an actual massacre that effects the freedom and rights (of the people), a real massacre of democratic norms, … They (Egyptian Army) did not only target Morsi, they targeted the emerging democracy in Egypt.”
 
“Al-Sisi (Egypt's Armed Forces Chief General) and the authorities which came to power though the coup imagine that they will crack down the peaceful protest. They now turn Egypt's streets and areas into Raba’a al-Adawiya square,” the statement added.
 
Also, Iranian university students and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) staged a rally to condemn Egyptian police's violent crackdown on demonstrators.
 
Hundreds of students coupled with members of various NGOs gathered outside Egypt’s interests section in Tehran on Thursday, chanting slogans in condemnation of Egyptian police brutality against civilians.
 
They also demanded an immediate cessation of the violence in Egypt, and called for a probe into Egyptian security forces' deadly clampdown on demonstrators.
 
In a Thursday statement, Egyptian Health Ministry said that 638 people were confirmed dead in Wednesday’s clashes between security forces and supporters of ousted president in Cairo.
 
This came after Egyptian security forces moved in to clear out thousands of supporters of the ousted president from two camps - one near the Raba’a al-Adawiya Mosque in Cairo’s Nasr City and a smaller one in Nahda Square in Giza.
 
Egypt has plunged into unrelenting string of violence since General al-Sisi, the head of the Egyptian army pushed aside Morsi, the country's first democratically elected president, and declared chief Justice of Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour as the interim president.
