Egypt: Bearded Officers Protest At Abdeen Palace

Scores of bearded soldiers and officers flocked on Friday to the vicinity of Abdeen Palace to take part in demonstrations to demand their return to work.

The bearded policemen have been calling for a presidential order that obliges Minister of Interior Mohamed Ibrahim to return them to their posts following a court ruling in their favour.

The protesting policemen set up a platform in front of the palace in preparation for the demonstration, the Middle East News Agency said.
