Salafist Front calls on women to 'cheer from balconies'

The Salafist Front had called on its female supporters to stay at home during protests on Friday due to fears they will be attacked by the security forces.

"Our directive to our sisters and our daughters is to form revolutionary morale guidance groups online in order to combat the lies spread in the media," said a statement posted on its official Facebook page.

It called on women to cheer the protests from their balconies and document the event.
