Egyptian protesters gather at Cairo's Tahrir Square to demand a tougher verdict on former dictator Hosni Mubarak, June 2, 2012.
Chanting slogans during the Sunday morning protests, the demonstrators demanded the execution of the former ruler for his complicity in the killings of at least 900 anti-regime protesters during the country's historic revolution in February 2011.
In a final verdict by a Cairo court on Saturday, a life term was handed down to Mubarak and his Interior Minister Habib al-Adli.
However, six top police commanders were acquitted of the same charge due to what the judge described as 'lack of concrete evidence.'
Demonstrators march to protest planned tuition hikes and an anti-protest law in Montreal, June 2, 2012.
The mass rally, organized by the CLASSE student association, was held on Saturday as thousands of student protesters and their supporters convened at the base of Mount Royal near McGill University in Montreal.
The protest was the first since the latest tuition negotiations with Quebec Premier Jean Charest's government broke down Thursday.
CLASSE said some 10,000 people were marching by Saturday late afternoon in the biggest protest since the start of the tuition crisis in February.

Israelis chant slogans during a protest calling for social justice (for themselves, not Palestinians), in Jerusalem on June 2, 2012.
About 5,000 people gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday night to express their anger against the policies of the Israeli regime that prompt social inequalities.
Hundreds of people also protested in al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Haifa, renewing their calls for social justice.
The protesters demanded the improvement of social services and infrastructure, a decrease in the costs of living and an increase in the taxation on those with high incomes.
The organizers said in a statement that "our renewed call stems from grief and anger -- we've been fighting for a whole year, with the complete support of most of the Israelis."

The wreckage of a Boeing 727 cargo plane which hit a bus full of passengers while trying to land at the airport in Accra, Ghana.
Bill Anaglate said the number of dead could rise. Anaglate said all the dead were in cars that the plane crushed when it failed to take off from Kotoka International airport on Saturday night.
The crash happened just outside the airport, which is near newly built high-rise buildings, hotels and the country's defence ministry. Witnesses said the plane first smashed through the fence that runs around the airport before hitting a bus and cars.
Police and soldiers quickly cordoned off the neighbourhood where the plane crashed. The area is near to El-Wak sports stadium and Hajj Village, where Muslims in the country stay before they journey to Mecca.

Greece's neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party, led by the fuhr-ious Nikos Michaloliakos, won 21 seats in last month’s election.
Ilias Panagiotaros and Ioannis Vouldis were briefly held alongside the daughter of Nikos Michaloliakos, Golden Dawn's leader, but were later released.
According to police, the attack took place late on Friday when a group involved in a protest turned on a 31-year-old Pakistani bypasser.
Golden Dawn confirmed two of its MPs had been held, but denied they took part in the attack. "[They] could not have been involved because they were miles away," it said in a statement.

Justin Bieber waves to fans in Oslo.
According to the gossip website TMZ.com, tens of thousands of Bieber's fans traveled across Europe and descended on Oslo. The 18-year-old singer was scheduled to perform four new songs at the Oslo Opera House as part of his "Justin Bieber Believe: All Around the World" television special that airs June 21 on NBC.
But the massive fan presence taxed local police efforts and cast doubt on whether the performance could go forward.
Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, detailed the situation on Twitter: "The streets are filled ... the bridges are closed. It is out of control. We may have to start the show early or they will cancel. #bieberfever"
"To have this much pressure and this much attention on this one single guy, I think that's pretty unprecedented," Jennifer Peros of Us Weekly magazine told Good Morning America.
