Hundreds of protesters tried on Sunday to break into a security headquarters of the State in Cairo, which forced the Army forces deployed around shooting into the air. The soldiers fired shots to try to disperse the demonstrators who gathered outside the building from the south with the intention of entering it, as other groups did the day before in Cairo and Alexandria.
At first the demonstrators was small, but as the day progressed hundreds of people joined the protest. "The people want the fall of the regime and the collapse of the State Security" shouted the participants in this demonstration during which at least a dozen people were arrested. Those arrested were brought into the Interior Ministry building, adjacent to the headquarters of the security apparatus and near Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the revolution on January 25 that forced the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak.
Security forces cut the road that is guarded by four armored vehicles and a tank. This incident comes a day after groups of protesters stormed the headquarters of several departments of State Security, an instrument of repression of the Mubarak regime. Yesterday, about 2,500 protesters entered the headquarters of the main security body, located in the northeast of Cairo, to seek documentation before their perpetrators being burned or destroyed.
In addition, hundreds of protesters managed to get into other venues such as the ones in Giza and on October 6, west of the capital, where several officers fired without causing any casualties on the demonstrators. Alexandria also similar incidents took place and the Armed Forces barracks evacuated another State Security in the Ramla area where 21 officers were injured the night before a crowd burst in the building.
These events led to this Sunday the reaction of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, who runs the country after the resignation of Mubarak, who called upon citizens to "immediately surrender documents pertaining to state security." In a statement, the military leaders asked the Egyptians to "surrender to military documents and not published in the media." These documents may contain names and issues the notice of which may pose "a danger to national security," the statement said the military leader.
The removal of security services in the state is one of the main demands of protesters after Mubarak's resignation on 11 February and the resignation last Thursday of Prime Minister Ahmad Shafiq, appointed by the former head of state.
