Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi will get no respite from protests against him as he arrives in Germany for a visit with German chancellor Angela Merkel.<br/> <br />Mursi is seeking to secure urgently needed foreign investment and convince Europe of his democratic credentials.<br/> <br />Demonstrations against the president back home carried on for a seventh day on Wednesday -- bloody clashes that have claimed dozens of lives.<br/> <br />But in Berlin, too, activists came out to voice their opposition to the Egyptian leader, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood.<br/> <br />Some protesters wanted to pressure Merkel to take a tough stance with Mursi, like this man from Amnesty International.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) SPOKESPERSON FOR AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL HENNING FRANZMEIER:<br/> <br />"We want to point out that is it very important for the German government to make it clear to President Mursi that human rights are a very important foundation stone for a future stable Egypt."<br/> <br />In Cairo, the teargas canisters continued to rain down, as they have done for a week.<br/> <br />The violence caused Mursi to cancel plans to go to Paris from Berlin - he will instead hurry back to Egypt after his visit with Merkel.<br/> <br />At least 52 people have been killed in unrest surrounding the two year anniversary of Egypt's popular revolution, whose values critics say Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood have betrayed.
