Egypts Tamarod movement has called on the US and UN to label the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror organization.
The Egyptian movement declared the demand on Wednesday. It has already collected 123,000 signatures of people who support its demand, Israel Radio reported Wednesday.
The Egyptian Tamarod movement has led protests against ousted president Mohamed Morsi.
In another development, Tamarod spokesman Mahmoud Badr said the movement hopes Egypt's interim government will formulate an entirely new constitution rather than amend the existing one drawn up by Morsi, al-Masry al-Youm daily reported.
"We want a civilian, democratic constitution that ... upholds equal opportunity and does not differentiate between Egyptians on the basis of religion or race," Badr said.
On July 3, the head of Egypt’s army chief Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi announced that president Mohamed Morsi was no longer in power. Al-Sisi also dissolved the Egyptian constitution.
The Chief Justice of Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adli Mansour, was sworn in as interim president on July 4.
Since then, Egypt has been the scene of rival rallies and clashes between thousands of the supporters and opponents of Morsi.
