Egypt: Prominent blogger hands himself in
A prominent Egyptian blogger has handed himself in to authorities, a day after the country's prosecutor general ordered his arrest over his alleged role in instigating violence during clashes between supporters and opponents of the country's Islamist president.
Alaa Abdel-Fattah arrived Tuesday at the Cairo office of Prosecutor General surrounded by dozens of pro-democracy protesters chanting against the Muslim Brotherhood's rule. The Brotherhood's office in the capital was the focus of Friday street fighting that left some 200 people injured. Abdel-Fattah is one of five well-known activists named as instigators of violence.
