"We give the country's rulers until Sunday night to declare public, real and swift trials for the officials of the toppled regime and the killers of martyrs," the Second Revolution of Rage protest group said on its Facebook page.
"If not, there will be further measures, including a call for civil disobedience," the group wrote.
The protesters are disappointed at the slow pace of judicial proceedings against former president Hosni Mubarak and other officials.
An activist of the April 6 campaign group went on hunger strike in Alexandria, Egypt's second biggest city, to protest what the group considers the authorities' disregard of the "revolution's demands."
Other activists in Cairo and the coastal city of Port Said announced plans to go on hunger strike if their demands were not met.
