CAIRO
Tension has risen in Egypt's Tahrir Square on the 10th day of demonstrations that take place against President Mohammed Morsi's constitutional amendments, on Wednesday.
Security forces responded protestors with tear gas who were throwing stones and chanting "revolution back on the square, we will not step back, he will"
Protestor announced earlier that they would not leave Tahrir Square as long as Morsi steps back on the amendments.
Morsi's decrees include; removal of prosecutor general Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud, extension of the timeframe for drafting the constitution, paying salaries to the families of those who were killed or injured during the January 25 revolution, and re-trial of all Mubarak-era officials responsible for terrorizing protesters were the decisions. Mursi announced that all decisions, laws and declarations passed by the president since taking office cannot be appealed or revoked by any authority, including the judiciary.
Dissidents protest the decree assessing them as the "provisions of creating a new dictator" while supporters say those were the revolutionary decisions that were taken to protect the government institutions.
