(PRESSTV.ir) - Tens of thousands of Egyptians have defied a government ban and taken to the streets across the country to protest against the government of President Hosni Mubarak. Police in Cairo and other major cities have clashed with protesters who demand that Mubarak cede power.  Similar protests are being held in Alexandria, Mansoura, Suez and Aswan.

The government has also blocked the internet and interrupted mobile phone services. Latest reports say some security personnel have left their posts and joined the anti-government protesters.
