Commemorating the Egyptian uprising

Montreal’s Egyptian community organized a rally on Saturday.

The Gazette reports it was to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Egyptian uprising. 

The group also gathered to protest the actions of Egypt’s army. It has been in control of the country since the overthrow of former President Hosni Mubarak. 

The demonstration took place near Concordia in Downtown Montreal. It came a few hours after the Muslim Brotherhood’s big win in Egypt’s parliamentary elections.
