Tents and barriers erected by protesters holding a sit-in in Tahrir Square against President Morsi’s constitutional declaration have been removed by police
Traffic is flowing in Tahrir Square on Wednesday after police forcefully removed tents and metal barriers erected by protesters.
A number of protesters had been holding a sit-in in the square since 22 November when President Morsi issued a constitutional declaration that critics said rendered his decisions above judicial intervention.
Protesters had prevented traffic from entering the square by blocking the entrances with barbed wire and metal barriers.
On 1 March,a police vehicle was reportedly set on fire by protesters near Abdel-Moneim Riyad Square, one of the entrances to Tahrir Square, after security forces removed tents from the square. Protesters returned and blocked the entrances to the square again after a couple of days.
