TENS of thousands of supporters of ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi have gathered in Cairo, vowing to keep fighting for his reinstatement.
The rallies come with Germany calling for the release of Morsi, who is being held in a "safe place, for his safety" and has not yet been charged, according to the foreign ministry.
"We call for an end to the restrictions on Mr Morsi's whereabouts," a German foreign ministry spokesman told reporters on Friday.
With an Egyptian flag in one hand and a Koran in the other, protesters gathered outside the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque in Cairo's Nasr City neighbourhood chanted against the military and pledged allegiance to Morsi.
"We will continue to resist. We will stay one or two months, or even one or two years. We won't leave here until our president, Mohamed Morsi, comes back," influential Islamist leader Safwat Hegazi told the crowd.
"We will stay in the square. We are free revolutionaries and we will continue our journey," he shouted.
Hegazi laid down their demands as the reinstatement of Egypt's first freely elected president, immediate parliamentary elections and a committee to oversee a plan for national reconciliation.
But despite the large turnout and defiant mood, the gathering has been increasingly out of step with political developments as interim authorities press ahead with formation of a new government and Gulf states stepping in to help support the faltering economy.
The Muslim Brotherhood, the influential Islamist group from which Morsi emerged, is now in tatters with much of its leadership detained, on the run or keeping a low profile following Morsi's July 3 overthrow by the military.
The holy month of Ramadan, usually a time of communal sharing and unity, has been marked instead by anxiety after deadly clashes and uncertainty about the future.
