Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | March 1, 2013 22:24
Hundreds of protesters gathered at the headquarters of Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi today and performed the latest viral dance craze – the Harlem Shake.
About 400 young men, some in funny costumes and others bare-chested, rallied in Cairo in front of the main office of Morsi’s group, The Muslim Brotherhood.
The flash mob danced in protest at country’s most powerful Islamic group while chanting “Leave! Leave!” to President Morsi.
As the protesters did the Harlem Shake, a dance to a song with the same name, the Islamist group shut down its office and turned off the lights.
The protest in Egypt followed the arrest last week in Cairo of four pharmaceutical students.
They were charged with violating the country’s decency laws by dancing in their underwear to the song.
Meanwhile, a new video by a different group of Egyptians has been posted online showing people doing the Harlem Shake in front of the pyramids.
