Around 1500 Muslim Brotherhood youths staged a protest after Friday prayers in front of the Syrian embassy in Cairo, denouncing the Syrian government's assaults against its own citizens.
Dozens of Syrian youths joined the protest and raised a banner that read: "Step down Nazi."
The Brotherhood came back to the front of the embassy after the Syrian protesters joined them. Police and military forces set up roadblocks to prevent protesters from approaching the embassy.
They chanted: "O coward Bashar, send your army to the Golan" and “O Bashar, your turn is yet to come, tomorrow we will try you like Mubarak."
Syrian protesters criticized the Secretary General of the Arab League's stance on the massacres of civilians in Syria. They said they intended to stage a march to the headquarters of Arab League downtown.
"We came here to announce solidarity with our brotherly country Syria and to condemn Assad's assaults on the Syrian people," said former Brotherhood member of parliament Mahmoud Amer. He criticized the Arab League's passive stance toward the Syrian revolution, saying, "There is no space for diplomatic statements after the massacres Assad has committed against his people."
