A large number of Egypt's Black Bloc members flowed to Mohamed Mahmoud Street on Saturday demanding the release of group members detained earlier in April, an Egyptian daily reported.
The bloc said in a statement on its official Facebook page that they can no longer stand still towards the government's "campaigns against the revolution's youth."
Egyptian public prosecutor Talaat Ibrahim ordered on April 17 the detention of 22 suspected Black Bloc members accused of funding the mysterious group.
The group of masked young protesters has been linked to violent attacks on public and private properties. The Bloc members present themselves as the defenders of protesters opposed to President Mohamed Mursi's rule.
Prosecutor's office spokesman Mahmoud al-Hefnawy said back then that the 22 Black Bloc suspects were summoned based on investigative reports presented by the country's National Security apparatus.
The Bloc however slammed in its recent Facebook statement the way authorities captured the suspects. The statement said police raided the suspects' areas of residence in a brutal way and attacked their families.
The prosecutor's office says that the Bloc committed a crime by establishing a violent group to conduct acts of terrorism, robberies, murder, destroy public and private enterprises, in addition to terrifying innocent people, reported Al Masry Al Youm newspaper.
