"I cannot say."

This protest organized by the opposition has also maintained its tradition to harass journalists.

Despite police officers making sure that there are no alcoholic beverages at the protest, some people  ignored the request. To avoid violence, drunk people were removed from the crowd.

Some people have confessed to have drunk alcohol before coming to protest.

As previously announced, police installed in the Great National Assembly Square four tents where people received water and medical aid.

"This is very well though, especially for pensioners. Thank you very much to those who thought of this."

Some people even decided to bring their children to the protest, only to regret later on.

A family has lost their son in the crowd, but he was found by the police and soon reunited with his parents.

The child's father claims that he took his eyes off the boy for a single moment and it was enough to lose him.

"We searched for half an hour and then decided to go to the officers."

"The traffic is suspended. I have stood on Ismail for 40 minutes already."
