Egypt prosecutor frees prominent youth activist
Egypt state news agency says the country's prosecutor has ordered the release of a prominent youth leader a day after detaining him on accusations that he incited anti-government violence.
MENA reported Saturday that prosecutors are referring Ahmed Maher to a misdemeanor court on lesser charges, including insulting the Interior Minister and disrupting traffic. Maher, a leader of the April 6 Youth Movement that was at the forefront of the 2011 revolt, was arrested at Cairo's main airport as he arrived from the United States on Friday. (AP)
