Pro-Morsi protesters continue their sit-in outside a mosque in Cairo, even after the military-backed interim government vowed to disperse those particular demonstrations.

“The cabinet has decided to take all measures necessary to confront these risks and put an end to them,” an official said in a televised statement, calling the rallies “a national security threat”, the cabinet said in a televised statement.

Marches are continuing, and the Muslim Brotherhood responded saying it would continue to maintain protest camps – one in Giza, west Cairo, and the other at Rabaa al-Adawiya, east Cairo, near the scenes of both of this month's mass killings of Morsi supporters.

Three top Muslim Brotherhood leaders have also been referred to court on charges of inciting violence.
