Egypt gears up for more protests

"Mr Morsi\'s supporters hope that millions will continue to back their call for his reinstatement," BBC reported.

Egypt has witnessed massive protests since Morsi was ousted on July 3.

Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Thursday underscored the support of the United Nations for an Egyptian Government that is fully accountable to its people, while voicing concerns about certain developments taking place in the country.

The crisis in the country escalated last week with the Egyptian military deposing Morsi amid widespread protests in which dozens of people were killed and wounded. The Constitution was then suspended and an interim government set up.

In his phone call with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr, Ban expressed deep concern about continued detentions and arrest warrants issued against leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood – the party to which Morsi belongs – and others.

A readout of the conversation added that Ban reminded the Foreign Minister of Egypt\'s international obligations and the need to fully respect the right to freedom of association, speech and due process.

He also made clear that there is no place for retribution or for the exclusion of any major party or community in Egypt.

In addition, Ban reiterated his support for the aspirations of the Egyptian people, and called for a peaceful dialogue that includes all parts of Egypt\'s political spectrum to find a way forward.

After days of protests, the Egyptian Army on July 3 ousted the country\'s first democratically elected president Morsi just after one year in office.

He was taken into military custody the same night.

The head of country\'s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, was sworn in as interim president on Thursday.

Demonstrators across the nation accused Morsi of failing to tackle the economic and security problem since being elected a year ago.
