Cairo - MENA
A group of Coptic activists wrapped up on Thursday a protest in Dawaran Shubra, northern Egypt, commemorating the victims of Maspero incidents, occurred in 2011.
The protesters raised photos of the victims and chanted slogans demanding retribution.
Organizers had to end the demonstration an hour earlier fearing the eruption of clashes after some people chanted anti-army slogans.
