Cairo - Egyptian opposition activists on Monday protested the government's reported construction of an underground wall along the country's border with the Gaza Strip. Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Lawyers' Syndicate in central Cairo, carrying posters of former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel-Nasser and placards accusing Israel and the United States of being behind the construction of the barrier.
Others held signs accusing Egypt of isolating the Gaza Strip for the benefit of Israel.
The protesters chanted slogans calling on Egypt to stop building the wall and calling on Arab countries to stand with the people of Gaza.
Egyptian riot police surrounded the demonstrators to prevent them from spilling into the streets, but made no move to disperse the crowd. more
