Around 100 demonstrators participated in bicycle ride from Kit-Kat to Abdeen Palace, in a display of solidarity with imprisoned activists. Demonstrators also marched in Alexandria and Cairo in solidarity with the judiciary. The bicycle ride was organised and led by the 6 April Youth Movement (Democratic Front). “This is a new way for us to demonstrate against the regime and bring more attention to our cause," said Mohamed Youssef, spokesperson for 6 April. “We are riding in solidarity with those in Muslim Brotherhood prisons." He referred to Abdelrahman Mohsen, a member of the front who was arrested last week following an early morning raid on his home by police. At that time the front said that he had been detained without charge. Youssef reported on Friday that Mohsen has been accused of being a member of the Black Bloc. Youssef added: “We are not only protesting for our members but for all of those in prison." The cyclists intended to meet others at Maspero and the High Court building, and then end their cycle outside Abdeen Palace, said Youssef. Meanwhile in Alexandria, hundreds marched from Qa'ed Ibrahim mosque to the court in Mansheya on Friday in support of Egypt's judiciary. There was also a smaller march in Cairo from Tahrir Square to the High Court building, also in support of the judiciary.
