Egyptian protesters have remained in Cairo's Liberation Square for the fifth consecutive day, protesting a power grab by military rulers. Protesters are maintaining a vigil in the iconic Tahrir Square on Saturday, where on Friday tens of thousands of protesters gathered to denounce the military council and demand the announcement of the country’s presidential election result. Egypt’s Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) announced the dissolution of the parliament on June 16 following an earlier Supreme Court ruling, assuming full legislative powers. The council also gave itself the veto power on a new constitution and the right to arrest civilians for trial in military courts. The election commission says the delayed results of Egypt's presidential run-off will be announced on Sunday.
