At the same time, the Muslim Brotherhood called for Morsi's supporters to went on the streets on Friday, July 5, to protest the military's actions. On the other hand, the armed forces announced that they would guarantee the rights of people to protest as long it did not resulted in violence or destruction of property.
Gehad El-Haddad, Muslim Brotherhood spokesman, told CNN that Morsi was initially under house arrest at the presidential Republican Guard headquarters in Cairo. He was then moved to the Ministry of Defense, in which the military has no comment on Morsi's whereabouts.
