The group said it had collected more than 22 million signatures in support.

The crowds seen in Tahrir Square in the capital, Cairo, on Sunday were the biggest since the 2011 revolution.

In sporadic outbreaks of violence, at least one person was reported killed in an attack on the headquarters of Mohamed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo, while four more died in the central province of Assiut.
