Scenes from October 5 Protest in Amman

Friday, October 5, was the day for “Saving the Country” protest (جمعة انقاذ الوطن) which took place in downtown Amman, and was organized by the Muslim Brotherhood. Estimations for the number of protestors ranged between 3,000, according to state media, and 80,000 according to MB. I personally estimate the number to be between 20,000 – 30,000. To my knowledge, this is the largest protest since the beginning of  opposition protests last year.
