Thousands of supporters of Egypt’s ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, have once again taken to the streets across the country calling for the downfall of the army-backed government.

Egyptians marched on the Judiciary headquarters in Cairo in protest at arbitrary arrests on Sunday.

The protesters condemned the interim government’s harsh crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood and the arrest of its leaders and members.

Rallies also happened in the city of Beni Suef and several other towns across the North African country.

On Friday, two people were killed and 20 others injured in violent skirmishes across Egypt.

Fierce clashes were also reported between the supporters and opponents of Morsi in Giza. At least 10 people have been arrested in connection with the violence in al-Omraniya district of the city which led to the death of a 12-year-old boy.

Authorities say they are now investigating the events that took place in Giza.

Meanwhile, Egypt’s National Alliance for Supporting Legitimacy has accused security forces of beating and torturing more than two dozen female protesters in the latest security crackdown against Morsi's supporters.

Morsi’s supporters have been holding regular demonstrations to condemn the interim government’s harsh crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood and the arrest of its leaders and members.

They have been demanding justice for Brotherhood supporters killed in the army crackdown following Morsi’s ouster in early July.

The interim government took power after Morsi was ousted by the army on July 3.

Hundreds of supporters of the group have been killed in clashes with the army over the past few months.
