Hundreds of supporters of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood have set fire to a government building in Cairo and its leadership promises to keep protesting.

The Muslim Brotherhood says Egyptians must learn that a democratically elected leader cannot be overthrown via a military coup.

The Muslim Brotherhood's Gehad al-Haddad says it will continue demonstrations until the former president Mohamed Morsi is reinstated and the military is removed from all political power.

He's told Ildi Amon protesters in Cairo represent all Egyptians who support the democratic process.
