Political activists stage protests in Alexandria

Members of the Lazem, Kefaya and April 6 movements staged protests on Wednesday evening outside the residence of Nasser al-Abd, the Alexandria chief investigator, accusing him of arresting 13 of their peers for no crime during a sit-in staged outside the Raml Police Station.

The protesters demanded the release of Hassan Mostafa, a member of the Constitution Party, who faces two years imprisonment on charges of assaulting a prosecutor outside the Alexandria Court during the hearing of a case related to the killing of demonstrators.

They also demanded the dismissal of the prosecutor general and the interior minister, whom they accuse of involvement in the killing of protesters in Port Said, Suez, Alexandria and Cairo.
