Thousands of Egyptians Protest in Tahrir Square 
------------------------------------------------



In Egypt, thousands of pro-democracy protesters are gathering in Cairo's
Tahrir Square today for what has been dubbed the second Friday of rage
to protest against the ruling military council. Activists are calling
for an end to military trials, the lifting of the three-decade-old
emergency law, the formation of a civilian government, and the
acceleration of trials of former figures from the Mubarak regime.
