Protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square sealed off all streets leading to the square to stop vehicles from passing through on Friday.

The protesters barricaded square entrances at the Egyptian Museum, Qasr al-Nil Bridge and Falaki Street, the state news agency correspondent reported.

Groups of citizens spread at the square's entrances to secure demonstrators and check the IDs of everyone heading to the square.

A number of political parties organised the demonstration to demand withdrawing confidence from President Mohamed Mursi and holding early presidential elections.
