| An Egyptian army armored personnel carrier and soldiers are stationed on a street in Cairo following the toppling of ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi on July 4, 2013. |
In a statement earlier, the Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, slammed "the terror of the police state through its arrests of Brotherhood leaders and the closure of satellite channels".
The statement was read out to Morsi supporters gathered in Cairo's Nasr City surrounded by army vehicles, a day after he was overthrown by the military.
A military source told AFP that the pro-Morsi protesters were free to come and go but were being screened for weapons "to ensure security".
