Reports say that on Wednesday, dozens of supporters of the Muslims Brotherhood movement marched toward downtown Cairo’s iconic Liberation Square.
They chanted anti-government slogans, calling for an end to the “military rule.”
Security forces responded by firing teargas and rubber bullets to break up the crowd of protesters, of whom at least 13 were arrested.
Protesters also held a similar rally in northern Cairo.
Muslim Brotherhood supporters have vowed to continue weekly protests in the buildup to the fourth anniversary of the revolution that toppled Mubarak.
In an election after Mubarak’s ouster, the Muslim Brotherhood-backed Mohamed Morsi was elected president. Morsi was later ousted in a military coup led by former military ruler and now President el-Sisi in July 2013.
