"We hold President Mubarak personally responsible for this unprecedented action," said Simon, "and call on the Egyptian government to reverse course immediately.

Sur la place Tahrir, épicentre des protestations au Caire, des heurts ont eu lieu par intermittence entre partisans et opposants au régime, au moment où plus un média ne diffusait en soirée des images en direct depuis là-bas, probablement en raison des mesures d'intimidation du pouvoir.
