Al Qarra - Egypt entered its seventh day of confrontation between police and demonstrators. The ministry of Health on Thursday announced that 56 people were killed, 3 on Wednesday.

Several protesters were arrested Wednesday in front of the buildings of the Prosecutor General in Cairo. They are suspected of being members of Black Blocs movement; a group of masked activists who define themselves as opponents of the Islamist-led government. For the Egyptian judiciary, they represent a "terrorist threat".
