Thousands demonstrated on Tahrir, Friday 28 October, denouncing the army’s massacre of Maspero protesters and the new electoral law legislated by SCAF, calling for the continuation of the revolution. Demonstrators also chanted against the grotesque abuses committed by both the military police and interior ministry against protesters and detainees in custody.

Protesters marched later, 4pm, on Maspero where the State TV is located, to denounce the continued counterrevolutionary propaganda and sectarian incitement. Strong chants echoed, calling for the execution of Field Marshal Tantawi and the overthrowing of his army generals.

The body of Essam Atta arrived in Tahrir Square at night, where prayers were conducted.

The prayers were followed by a mass funeral where protesters called for avenging his death under torture at Tora Prison.
