The demonstrators waved flags and chanted loudly against the military, which deposed Morsy. Morsy became Egypt's first freely elected president in 2012 after the overthrow of longtime strongman Hosni Mubarak. His detractors accused him of being a tyrant trying to impose conservative values, but his supporters say the coup was a power grab by the military and elements of the old Mubarak regime.
