Egypt urges cancellation of pro-Palestinian march
Egypt is urging activists to cancel a rally aimed at crossing from Egypt into the Gaza Strip to show support for the Palestinians. In a statement Thursday, authorities called on activists to give priority to internal issues and "to prevent any repercussions that might result from this march."
A Facebook campaign called for rallies Friday and a march toward the border on Sunday, called the "Sunday of Liberation." Egypt's powerful Muslim Brotherhood has come out in support of a rally in central Cairo on Friday but does not favor the march on Gaza. (AP)
