Egypt's prosecution questions 21 Zamalek fans in the aftermath of stadium killings
Prosecution still to decide whether to release them, or further detain them pending a trial
El Sayed Gamal El Din Published in Ahram Online on 10 - 02 - 2015

Egypt's prosecution has arrested 21 Zamalek fans after at least 20 people died and a further dozen were injured trying to get in to a league football game between Zamalek and ENPPI at a Cairo stadium on Sunday.
The interior ministry has said that hardcore Zamalek fans, the Ultras White Knights, tried to enter the stadium by force, and had to be dispersed with teargas, while the UWK say that they were teargassed as many fans scrambled to get in, with a "tiny metal fence surrounded by barbed wire" being the only gate opened for them.
The prosecution issued the arrest order on charges of assembly, inciting violence, rioting, assaulting police officers and damaging public and private properties.
Out of the 21 arrested, 17 were arrested at the stadium on Sunday. The other four defendants are UKW leaders who were arrested from their homes on Tuesday.
The prosecution is yet to issue its decision after listening to the defendants. It will decide whether to release them, or further detain them pending a trial.
The violence was the deadliest football-related disaster since the infamous death of over 70 Ahly fans in the Port Said stadium in February 2012.
Authorities have ordered a probe into the deaths, in response to outrage from Zamalek fans and family members of the deceased over what they have called a "massacre".
