Thousands of Egyptian protesters have re-occupied Tahrir Square in the capital, Cairo, after a violent attempt by troops and police to evict them.
They returned less than an hour after the assault, chanting against Egypt's ruling military council.
Demonstrators earlier fled as security forces fired tear gas and beat them with truncheons. At least nine people have died this weekend, reports say.
There were also clashes in other cities including Alexandria, Suez and Aswan.
The demonstrators, some wearing gas masks, say they fear Egypt's military rulers are trying to retain their grip on power.
