Opponents of President Mohamed Mursi returned to Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Sunday morning for planned demonstrations to demand his removal. 

Chanting against the president and his Muslim Brotherhood, most of the protesters gathered by the only podium in the square which is located close to Mohamed Mahmoud Street, reported the state news agency. 

Tens of protesters marched in the square early on Sunday, carrying a 70-meter-long national flag as they chanted anti-regime slogans. 

All the entries to the square have been blocked as protesters formed popular committees to prevent thugs and outlaws from entering Tahrir.
