Cairo (CNN) — Thousands gathered in the Egyptian capital on Friday in a mass demonstration against the country’s armed forces and its heavy-handed treatment of protesters, which has since drawn international condemnation.
Protesters could be seen erecting tents in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, a location widely considered the epicenter of an uprising that brought down Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak earlier this year.
The move marks the latest in a series of protests around the capital, where at least 16 people were killed in recent days amid clashes with Egyptian authorities.
