Also, al-Mayadeen TV reported that police surrounded all entrances of Rabia al-Adawiyya as tens of protesters leave the square.
Policemen prevented any clashes between citizens and protesters who were in the Square.
"Protesters hold full responsibility for any security setbacks or human casualties," the Ministry warned.
The Health Ministry stated that two people were killed and 41 were injured in the dispersal of protests in al-Nahda and Rabia al-Adawiyya Sqaures.
