The Supreme Police Council on Monday met to finalize a reshuffle of Interior Ministry leaders, dismissing those officers accused of killing demonstrators during the revolution.
The reshuffle, which is to be officially announced on Wednesday, is considered the largest in the ministry’s history, as it includes 19 security directors and 750 major and brigadier generals.
Among those to be dismissed are security directors and the assistant ministers for training of Alexandria, Beheira, Gharbiya, Suez, Sharqiya, Damietta, Daqahlia and Beni Suef Governorates.
Interior Minister Mansour Essawy said other leaders might be assigned to the ministries of electricity or transport until investigations are completed.
