One day after deadly clashes, Egyptian police forces have launched a violent assault against protesters, using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds gathered in Cairo's Liberation Square, Press TV reports.
Security forces have left up to 700 protesters injured, a day after deadly clashes left at least three people dead and hundreds of others wounded in Cairo.
Security forces have also set protesters' tents on fire.
According to a statement by Egypt's Interior Ministry, some 55 protesters have been arrested since Saturday.
This is while the country's military council has also threatened protesters with a tougher response if they continue their demonstrations.
Protesters are demanding a speedy transition of power to a civilian government.
Earlier this month, Egypt's Deputy Prime Minister Ali al-Silmi showed a draft copy of a revised constitution to political groups in the North African country. The draft would give the Army exclusive authority over its internal affairs and budget and would also shield the forces from legal scrutiny.
