Egypt Charges 200 Over Deadly Clashes
[AnNahar] On Wednesday Egyptian prosecutors charged 200 people over their involvement in the deadly festivities, mostly supporters of ousted Morsi, a judicial source said.

The 200 will be held for 15 days pending investigation into accusations of murder, incitement to violence, carrying unlicensed weapons and disrupting public order and security, the source told Agence La Belle France Presse.

a judicial source announced that a new public prosecutor has been appointed after the resignation of his controversial predecessor.

"The Supreme Judicial Council decided to approve the nomination of Hisham Barakat," the source told AFP, adding that Abdel Meguid Mahmud had resigned on Tuesday.

The controversial former prosecutor had said on Friday that he would step down, days after being reinstated, citing possible conflicts of interest in future prosecutions.

, Mahmud was sacked by now deposed president Morsi in November as part of a decree in which the Islamist head of state granted himself sweeping powers.

The decree was eventually repealed under intense pressure from street protests, but the decisions stemming from it were protected by the constitution that was passed in December.
