Source: Egypt's prosecutor begins probe into political activists

Egypt's public prosecutor is looking into legal complaints against a group of prominent democracy and rights activists, a judicial source at the prosecutor's office said on Saturday, adding to fears of a widening crackdown on dissent.

 

Confirming a story on the Web site of state newspaper Al-Ahram on Saturday, the source said the prosecutor received complaints from private citizens against 35 political figures, many of them important figures in the 2011 uprising against ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. (Reuters)
