Egypt stepped up security in the downtown area where the parliament headquarters and the interior ministry are located on Sunday morning ahead of planned demonstrations against the regime.
Thirty-five Central Security trucks, six tanks and four firetrucks were deployed in the location, reported the state news agency.
Security forces also placed metal wired barricades on all the roads leading to the area to prevent vandalism.
