The clashes broke out on December 16 between security forces and demonstrators camped since late November in Cairo's administrative heart.
The activists were protesting against the nomination to prime minister of Kamal al-Ganzouri, who previously held the post under Hosni Mubarak's toppled regime.
Activists have called for a mass rally on Friday, dubbed the "Friday of Restoring Honour," to demand the military hold accountable soldiers responsible for abuses committed during the clashes, which have sparked international outcry.
Voters went to the polls again on Thursday in run-offs for the second stage of staggered parliamentary elections, a landmark vote that has been overshadowed by the protest deaths.
