The ultraconservative Islamist group Jama'a al-Islamiya said on Tuesday that those who “agitate” against the military should stop and instead work on shortening the transition period to an elected government.
In a statement, the group emphasized the right of the ruling authority, the military, to implement laws.
It also expressed disapproval of protests that fail to respect the rights and freedoms of others, such as blocking roads.
Activists sharply criticized the military and police forces for clearing the sit-in on Monday, especially since many protesters belonged to families of people killed in the revolution.
On Friday, Jama'a al-Islamiya participated in a mass rally to express its support for the ruling military council, and rejected secular demands to write the constitution before holding parliamentary elections.
