Our correspondent who was a star witness reported that the protesters in large number, took over an entire lane resorting to heavy traffic holdup, including pedestrians, which also caused scar.
All efforts made to speak to some of the presenters with El-Zazzaky poster, was aborted as many of them refused to comment why some others could not expressed themselves in English.
However, some eyewitnesses confirmed that the Islamic group were on the street to demonstrate their sympathy for Hamas following the ongoing Palestine- Israeli war in the middle east.
