Arrest warrant issued for father of 'Rabaa ruler' student Father of 15-year-old boy who was arrested at school for having a ruler bearing a pro-Brotherhood symbol will also be arrested
Prosecutors on Saturday ordered the detention of a man whose 15-year-old son was arrested two weeks ago for possessing a ruler bearing a symbol associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. The man is being investigated on charges of "inducing" his son to possess the ruler, according to state news agency MENA. Arrest warrants have also been issued against two teachers of 15-year-old Khaled Mohamed - Ashraf Raslan and Hamido El-Kheish - for the same reason. Mohamed was taken by police from his school in the northern Egyptian city of Kafr El-Sheikh on 25 November after a teacher noticed he had a ruler emblazoned with the Rabaa sign, a four-fingered symbol representing supporters of ousted Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi. On Sunday, the prosecution extended his detention for 15 days pending investigations. The boy's lawyer Amr Abdel-Maksoud told Ahram Online shortly after his arrest that the detention is in breach of Egypt's penal code and child law "which stipulates that a juvenile shall not be detained unless they are caught red-handed in a crime." Abdel-Maksoud was not available for comment on Saturday's developments. The Rabaa sign has been widely used by supporters of the Brotherhood since police forcibly disbanded a pro-Morsi protest camp at Rabaa Al-Adawiya square in Cairo in mid-August, killing hundreds and sparking widespread unrest. Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected president, was ousted by the Egyptian army after millions protested his troubled one-year reign. Egypt's interim authorities have since mounted a sustained crackdown on Islamists which has seen hundreds killed and thousands arrested. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/89124.aspx
