In a short press conference moments ago, EU foreign policy
chief Catherine Ashton shared a few details about deposed president
Mohamed Morsi, with whom she met for two hours on Monday night.
Morsi is in good health, she said, and "has access to information in terms of TV, newspapers, so we were able to talk about the situation." Ashton said she did not know exactly where Morsi was being held.
She also refused to comment on the substance of their conversation: "I told him that I was not going to represent his views, because in the circumstances he cannot correct me if I do it wrong," she said. (Al jazeera)

Al Jazeera's Jamal El-Shayyal in Cairo reports that "several
marches" are headed towards security buildings, including the security
directorate and headquarters, in the capital, as well as in Alexandria,
Egypt's second city.
"Here in Cairo the demonstrators are heading towards two main security buildings. One is that of the state security which was notoriously being used throughout the past several years for brutal crackdowns on the opposition, especially during former president Hosni Mubarak's regime," he reported.
"The other protests are heading towards the security directorate of Giza. In all of these marches, organisers have impressed upon protesters, many of who include women and children, to offer a symbolic funeral procession in memory of those killed in anti-coup protests so far."(Al jazeera)
