Misdemeanours Court to look into Itihadiya Palace protest case
Published in Daily News Egypt on 25 - 06 - 2014

The prosecution referred on Wednesday the detainees of a Saturday demonstration against the Protest Law to the Heliopolis Misdemeanours Court, with the first session set for 29 June.
Police forces arrested 24 people on Saturday evening during a demonstration against the Protest Law that called for the release of those detained for violating it.
The seven girls arrested from the protest have been moved to Qanater prison, while the men are reportedly being moved to Tora prison, said Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights lawyer Ayman Abd Elmoati.
Abd Elmoati announced on Wednesday that more than 500 people signed an electronic declaration stating that they called for the protest. Among those who signed were novelist SanAllah Ibrahim, TV presenter Reem Maged, Seceretary-General of the Doctors' Syndicate Mona Mina, National Council for Human Rights member Ragia Omran, El Nadeem Center for Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence and Torture founder Aida Seif Al-Dawla, Al Dostour Party spokesman Khaled Dawoud and others.
The Way of the Revolution Front had called for signing the declaration on Monday.
The protest, numbering around 500 people, was heading to Itihadiya Palace before changing its route upon encountering "intensified security forces", according to journalist and 6 April member Ali Halaby.
The protest was organised by the family of imprisoned activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, and included his sister Sanaa Seif, who herself was arrested during the protest on Saturday.
Twenty-four of the demonstrators were detained and are accused of violating the Protest Law, blocking roads, and damaging public and private property, including allegedly damaging a police vehicle and a shop window.
The 6 April Movement (Democratic Front) said in a Saturday statement that security forces had been aided by thugs armed with melee weapons, teargas, and birdshot. The movement said this was to "terrorise innocent people and assault peaceful youth."
The Ministry of Interior's media office said that between 60 and 70 persons assembled in Salah Al-Deen and Al-Ismailia Squares and blocked the road, causing traffic. The protesters and residents in the area then began to pelt each other with rocks, prompting security forces to intervene.
