Hundreds of protesters rallied at the Ministry of Defence to take part in an anti-Mursi demonstration on Saturday evening, the Middle East News Agency reported.

Dozens have been sitting-in at the ministry for almost a week to declare their rejection for Mursi's rule and call for early presidential elections.

The demonstrators waved Egypt's flags and held red cards for Mursi while chanting slogans against the Muslim Brotherhood and its General Guide Mohamed Badie.

They held banners denouncing the U.S. ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson and claimed she is supports the Brotherhood.

The protesters called for handing power over to Minister of Defence Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and chanted slogans supporting him.
