Egypt to try police over Islamist prisoner deaths, state media say

None

Egypt's public prosecutor referred four police officers to trial over the deaths of 37 Islamist prisoners teargased in a transport truck in August, the official MENA news agency reported on Tuesday.

 

It would be the first trial of police officers accused of killings in a massive crackdown on Islamists which followed the army's July 3 ouster of elected president Mohamed Morsi. (AFP)
