Protests push on for a third day in Cairo's Tahrir Square.<br/> <br />Early Monday morning, demonstrators set up barriers to close all routes leading to the central square in the Egyptian capital - and are calling for a new uprising.<br/> <br />Thousands began massing here on Saturday after the verdicts were read in the trials of Hosni Mubarak, his two sons, former Interior Minister Habib al-Adli, and a number of other officials affiliated with the ousted government.<br/> <br />Mubarak and Adli were sentenced to life in prison for their part in the deaths of hundreds of protesters last year.<br/> <br />But his two sons Gamal and Alaa were acquitted; so were the officials.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) DEMONSTRATOR, HAZEM TOBGY, SAYING:<br/> <br />"It is not a fair sentence, the criminals have been acquitted and we are all unhappy about this."<br/> <br />The verdicts come amid a presidential election that has left many outraged - pitting Mubarak's last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq against the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Mursi in a runoff set for June 16 and 17.<br/> <br />And as the world cheers Egypt's first free and fair vote - many here question how a former Mubarak man appears likely to take over as Egypt's next leader.<br/> <br />Travis Brecher, Reuters
