Protests against the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état erupted in July 2013.[6][7][8] Immediately following the removal of President Mohamed Morsi by the Egyptian Armed Forces on 3 July 2013 amid demonstrations against Morsi's rule, many protesters amassed near the Rabia Al-Adawiya Mosque to call for Morsi's return to power and condemn the military, while others demonstrated in support of the military and interim government. Deadly clashes such as Rabaa massacre continued for several days, with three particularly bloody incidents being described by officials as "massacres" perpetrated by security forces.[9][10] During the month of Ramadan (10 July – 7 August), prime minister Hazem al-Beblawy threatened[11] to disperse the ongoing Pro-Morsi sit-ins in Rabaa al-Adaweya square and al-Nahda square.[12] The government crackdown of these protests occurred in a violent dispersal on 14 August 2013.[13] In mid-August, the violence directed by the army towards the protesters escalated, with hundreds killed, and the government declaring a month-long nighttime curfew.[14]
