CAIRO: Certain Egyptian media and press fronts staged a marching protest from Al-Akhbar Al-Youm newspaper headquarters to Maspiro, the Egyptian Radio and Television headquarters on Thursday October 13. The protests call for the dismissal of the Egyptian Minister of Information Osama Heikal. The march includes journalists, reporters and public figures. The demonstration aims to condemn Egyptian media over inciting and triggering sectarian violence in Egypt. The protesters called for a comprehensive purification of the Egyptian press. They said the protest is the beginning of a series of escalating measures to be taken if Egyptian press's policy does not change. Egyptian State TV called upon Egyptian citizens to defend the military forces from the Coptic Christians during a peaceful demonstration. State TV announced the military forces are being attacked by the protesting Coptic Christians, who were protesting on October 9 about how their churches were burnt down in Aswan and how the military council took no action to punish the criminals or protect the Christians.
