Central Cairo Prosecution released yesterday all 49 defendants in the fire of the Ghad [tomorrow] Party. The supporters of Ayman Nour, former president of the party, and Moussa pelted each other with accusations during the investigations. The prosecution leveled six and five charges at Nour's and Moussa's supporters respectively. First Attorney General Mohamed Helmi Qandil entrusted concerned security bodies with making investigations into who took part in the clashes. The prosecution heard the depositions of 13 eye-witnesses, namely owners of neighboring shops. They confirmed that the two parties pelt each others with bricks and bottles, which resulted in a fight at the party's headquarter that destroyed cars and shops' facades. Nour's wife Gamila Ismail and a number of Nour's supporters said that while they were in a meeting inside the headquarter to choose the party's chairman, Moussa's supporters suddenly broke into the building and pelted them with bricks and Molotovs. As a result, a curtain in a room was set ablaze. Speaking to Al-Masry Al-Youm, Ismail said she stood before the prosecution once as a victim and another as a defendant. She accused the police of colluding with Moussa and not intervening to protect the party's headquarter and prevent them from burning the building. During the investigations, Moussa's supporters said that they were staging a peaceful march to the headquarter and that as soon as they arrived there, Nour's supporters suddenly pelted them with bricks and Molotovs and some of them were injured. In a phone call with Al-Masry al-Youm, Moussa Mostafa Moussa, the party's chairman, condemned Nour's actions describing his supporters as "thugs". On the other hand, Cairo Governor Abdul Azim Wazir has issued a decree on forming a joint technical committee of the governorate and a civilization coordination agency and research center on inspecting buildings to inspect the party's headquarters.
