The US has called on Egypt's army to free deposed President Mohamed Morsi, amid ongoing protests on the first Friday of Ramadan.
The appeal echoed a similar call hours earlier from Germany.
The Islamist Mr Morsi, who was ousted last week after the army stepped in, has since been held at a "safe" but unspecified location.
Dozens of people have since died in clashes during major demonstrations by pro- and anti-Morsi protesters.
