Female supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi marched Monday on the Defense Ministry headquarters in Cairo to call for his reinstatement. The protesters chanted slogans in support for Morsi and condemned army chief and Defense Minister Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Women supporters also marched with coffins in Beni Sueif to condemn the killing of three women who were killed after unidentified assailants attacked a pro-Morsi rally in the Nile Delta city of Manousra on Friday. Morsi’s supporters marched earlier Monday on a main courts complex in downtown Cairo that houses the office of the prosecutor general, the court of appeal, the court of cassation and several court rooms. The National Alliance for the Defense of Legitimacy, a coalition of largely Islamist parties and groups including the Muslim Brotherhood, is organizing mass protests on Monday in support of Morsi. Morsi, Egypt\'s first democratically elected president, was deposed by the army on July 3 following mass protests against his regime. The military also suspended the constitution and installed Adly Mansour, the head of the constitutional court, as interim president. Morsi supporters have since been organizing mass demonstrations and sit-ins nationwide to defend his democratic legitimacy and demand his reinstatement.
