Morsi supporters urged to end protest
An Egyptian police official has said that if followers of ousted President Mohammed Morsi abandon their protests, his Muslim Brotherhood group will be able to have a normal role in the political process.
The televised remarks by Interior Ministry spokesman Hany Abdel-Latif came as authorities announced plans to break up the two main sit-ins in the capital, Cairo, by erecting cordons to prevent people from entering them.
Mr Morsi's supporters, including his Muslim Brotherhood group, have vowed to continue protesting until he is reinstated.
"If you believe you are bringing victory to the Brotherhood (by pursuing the sit-ins), it is your safe and secure departure that will allow the Brotherhood to go back to its role in the political process," Mr Abdel-Latif said.
Mr Morsi was overthrown in a July 3 coup after millions demonstrated, demanding his overthrow.
