Around 300 demonstrators protested on Thursday in front of the court of Hakaniya in Manshiya Square in the coastal city of Alexandria, witnesses say.
Police cordoned off the protesters, some of whom were lawyers demanding the release of colleagues arrested during the previous two days of protests in Alexandria.
Heavy security presence prevented the protestors from leaving the cordon, added the witness.
Protestors chanted, “Down, down with Mubarak,” and “Mubarak, leave.”
Meanwhile, the liberal opposition Wafd Party said security forces arrested some of its members while they were leaving party offices in downtown Alexandria on Thursday.
