Cairo, Dec 13 (Aswat Masriya) - Army forces intensified security in Cairo's Tahrir and Rabaa squares on Friday morning in anticipation of protests the National Coalition for Supporting Legitimacy has called for.

The coalition which backs former President Mohamed Mursi has called for demonstrations under the title "Students Lead the Revolution".

It urged students to "rally for a million-man demonstration on Friday".

Army forces and vehicles were deployed along the entrances leading to Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, the state-run agency MENA reported.

Central security forces were deployed around the Egyptian Museum parameters as well as Simon Bolivar and Ramsis squares.

In Masr al-Gedida, four military vehicles were stationed near the Ittihadeya palace at the entrance of Merghani Street. 

Security forces and police vehicles were also deployed near Omar Ibn Abdel Aziz Mosque opposite to the palace.

Supporters of the deposed president have taken to demonstrating since his ouster in protest against what they call a "coup against legitimacy".

Mursi was removed from power last July after mass protests that demanded his ouster due to his regime's policies.
