Thousands of Egyptians pray in Cairo's landmark Tahrir Square before a participating in a rally in support of newly-elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi on July 10, 2012, as Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court froze a presidential decree reinstating the Islamist-led parliament, hours after the lower house convened in defiance of the judiciary and military. The top court's decision is expected to heighten a crisis that has raged since Morsi, a former member of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, issued the decree on July 9, just eight days after taking office.
