Morsi supporters gather in Cairo

Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel-Hamid reports from Cairo, where thousands have gathered to rally in support of Mohamed Morsi, Egyptian president, at Cairo University.

The marches, scheduled to begin shortly after the afternoon prayer, saw "Islamist and nationalist revolutionary forces" set off from mosques in Cairo and head for Al-Nadha square, said the Freedom and Justice Party, the Brotherhood's political wing.
