| 2013-09-09 |
| [Al Ahram] Egypt prosecutors extended the detentions of Salafist leader Hazem Salah Abu-Ismail and Moslem Brüderbund leaders Helmi El-Gazzar, Abdel-Moneim Abdel-Maqsoud, and former MP Mohamed El-Omda for another 15 days on Sunday, pending investigation into charges of inciting the murder of anti-Morsi protesters. The Islamist figures were tossed in the clink Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! following the ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi, who hails from the Moslem Brüderbund. The prosecution charged the four leaders with inciting the violence that led to nine protester deaths during festivities between Morsi supporters and opponents near Giza's Cairo University on 30 June. |
