埃及大規模抗議，選舉結果推遲公佈

Several Islamist groups are calling for mass protests in Egypt on Friday, as the country nervously awaits the official results of its first freely-contested presidential elections.

Thousands of protesters camped out overnight in Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square to denounce a power grab by Egypt's interim military rulers and to call on officials to release the results of last week's runoff.

Egypt's election commission has postponed the results, which were due to be released Thursday, because it says it needs time to investigate fraud allegations by both candidates.

Muslim Brotherhood officials have warned of a confrontation between the people and the ruling military if its candidate, Muhammad Morsi, is not named the winner.

Both Morsi and former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq are claiming victory, and supporters of both men have threatened a backlash should their candidate lose.

Egypt's official MENA news agency is reporting that the election commission could announce the elections results on Saturday or Sunday.埃及幾個伊斯蘭組織呼籲在星期五舉行大規模抗議活動。目前埃及民衆正在緊張等待當局公佈首次自由競爭的總統決選的正式結果。

成千上萬抗議者在開羅的解放廣場露營，譴責臨時執政的埃及軍方攫取權力，並要求當局公佈上星期總統決選的結果。

總統決選結果本來定於星期四公佈，但埃及選舉委員會決定推遲公佈，理由是該委員會需要時間來調查競選雙方提出的舞弊申訴。

穆斯林兄弟會曾經警告說，如果該組織的總統候選人穆爾西未被宣佈爲總統決選的獲勝者，民衆和軍方執政者就將發生對抗。

穆爾西和前總理沙菲克都宣稱自己在總統決選中獲勝，雙方的支持者都曾揚言，如果己方的候選人敗選，就要提出挑戰。

埃及官方媒體中東通訊社報道說，選舉委員會可能在星期六或星期天宣佈總統決選結果。
