Supporters of Egypt's ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi have entered Tahrir Square in central Cairo for the first time since the military deposed him in July, dpa reported.
Students from Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, marching from Cairo University on the far side of the Nile, knelt down and prayed upon reaching the iconic square, said witnesses.
Brotherhood social media pages have called upon supporters to head for Tahrir immediately to join the protesters.
