Several provinces of Egypt saw demonstrations on Friday in solidarity with hunger-striking political detainees being held in southern Cairo's notorious Al-Aqrab Prison.According to Anadolu Agency correspondents and eyewitnesses, demonstrations were held in the provinces of Giza, Damietta, Fayoum, Minya, Beni Sueif, Sharqiya, Daqahlia and Menoufiya.Protesters demanded the release of hunger-striking prisoners and decried the low standard of living in Egypt.Many demonstrators shouted slogans against the Egyptian regime and held pictures of Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected president and a Muslim Brotherhood leader, who was removed from office in a 2013 military coup.On Thursday, the Brotherhood-linked National Alliance for the Defense of Legitimacy called for a week of protests to show solidarity with hunger-striking prisoners.Egypt has been dogged by political turmoil since mid-2013, when the military overthrew Morsi and launched a brutal crackdown on his supporters.
