Egyptian police stopped efforts by protesters to regroup in Cairo on Wednesday, a day after waves of stone-throwing demonstrators occupied the city for hours.

The Interior Ministry said Wednesday no new demonstrations will be allowed and it warned that protesters will be prosecuted.

Despite the ban, an Egyptian opposition group called for more demonstrations in Cairo. The 6th of April Youth Movement used its Facebook page to urge protesters to continue action Wednesday.

On Tuesday, thousands of people took part in anti-government protests in Cairo and other cities, calling for an end to nearly three decades of rule by President Hosni Mubarak. Three civilians and a police officer were killed in the unrest. Egypt＇s government says at least 85 police officers were injured.

Tuesday＇s demonstrations began peacefully, with police at first showing restraint. Several people said the clashes in Cairo began after protesters tried to take control of a water cannon truck.

Such a coordinated wave of anti-government protests has not been seen in Egypt since Mubarak assumed power in 1981 after Islamists assassinated President Anwar Sadat.

The protests were promoted online by groups saying they speak for young Egyptians frustrated with the kind of poverty and oppression that triggered Tunisia＇s unrest.

Since Tunisia＇s anti-government protests, at least five Egyptians have attempted suicide by self-immolation, imitating the young Tunisian whose burning death in December first galvanized protesters there.
