Demonstration in Tahrir Square Against Mubarak – 30Jan2011 On 30 June 2013 , marking the one-year anniversary of Morsi 's inauguration as president , millions of Egyptians protested against him , demanding he step down from office . Morsi refused to resign . A 48-hour ultimatum was issued to him , demanding that he respond to the demands of the Egyptians , and on 3 July 2013 , the President of Egypt was overthrown . Unlike the imposition of martial law which followed the 2011 resignation of Hosni Mubarak , on 4 July 2013 , a civilian senior jurist Adly Mansour was appointed interim president and was sworn in over the new government following Morsi 's removal . Mansour had the right to issue constitutional declarations and vested executive power in the Supreme Constitutional Court , giving him executive , judicial and constitutional power . Morsi refused to accept his removal from office , and many supporters vowed to reinstate him . They originally intended their sit-ins to celebrate Morsi 's one-year anniversary , but they quickly became opposed to the new authorities . Their sit-ins were dispersed on August 14 that year by security forces , leading to 638 deaths , including 43 police officers
