I also found a photo for the demonstrators.
Meanwhile, there were demonstartions in Egypt (photo here) asking Mubarak to step out and calling for elections rejecting a 5th term for the president that has been ruling the country with emergency law since 1981 after the assassination of president Anwar Sadat.

This is the latest among a number of similar demontsrations that took place in Cairo in the past few months.
