Egypt has declared a month-long state of emergency after scores of people were killed when security forces stormed two protest camps in Cairo.
Thousands of supporters of deposed President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood had staged the sit-ins.
Police have arrested key Brotherhood members and taken control of the camps. The government says 149 people were killed in the operation.
The US condemned the emergency law and appealed for calm.
The Muslim Brotherhood says more than 2,000 people died in Wednesday's violence.
