Prominent activist Lobna Darwish of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) was among those detained at the protest, along with rights lawyers Ragia Omran Mahienour el-Massry and Hossam Bahgat, a leading Egyptian rights defender and founder of the EIPR, he said.
The lawyer said people "who happened to pass by in proximity to the gathering" had also been arrested.
