埃及抗議者在總統官邸外露營
Egyptian protesters are camped out at Cairo's Tahrir Square and in front of the presidential palace to urge President Mohamed Morsi to step down.
Some of the protesters Wednesday have vowed not to leave until Mr. Morsi abolishes a decree he issued last month granting him sweeping powers that place him above review from the judiciary.
On Tuesday, Egyptian riot police fired tear gas outside the presidential palace, where tens of thousands of protesters had gathered as Mr. Morsi was inside conducting business. Police tried to stop the crowd from storming the palace but soon retreated and let the marchers through a barrier and up to the palace walls. Egyptian officials say Mr. Morsi had left the palace during the march.
Many of the marchers chanted the same anti-government slogans used in the uprising that toppled former authoritarian president Hosni Mubarak.
Protest leaders called Tuesday's march a last warning to Mr. Morsi to back down from his decree. They are also against a draft constitution that the opposition says was drawn up by Islamists, without input from secularists and liberals.埃及抗議者在開羅解放廣場和總統官邸外面露營，要求穆爾西總統下臺。
星期三，一些抗議者誓言不會離開，直到穆爾西取消上月頒佈的有關授予他自己不受司法監督的廣泛權力的政令。
星期二，埃及防暴警察在總統官邸外面發射催淚彈，數萬名抗議者聚集在那裏，同時穆爾西在總統官邸內處理公務。警察試圖阻止大批人羣衝進總統官邸。不過，警察很快撤退，他們讓遊行羣衆通過一個柵欄，然後爬到總統官邸的牆上。埃及官員說，穆爾西在示威遊行的過程中離開了總統官邸。
很多遊行民衆高呼在推翻前極權總統穆巴拉克的起義中使用的同樣的反政府口號。
抗議活動領導人稱星期二的遊行是對穆爾西的最後警告，他們要求穆爾西撤回他頒發的政令。他們同時還抗議一個憲法草案。反對人士說，該憲法草案是由伊斯蘭主義者草擬的，完全沒有采納世俗人士和自由派人士的意見。
