| [Egypt Independent] Prosecutor General Hisham Barakat referred Mohammed Badie, supreme guide of the Moslem Brüderbund, and 13 other Brotherhood leaders to the Criminal Court on charges of inciting the killing of demonstrators in the Istiqama Mosque events in Giza Square, during which 29 people were killed and maimed. The other referred leaders were: Mohammed al-Beltagy, Essam al-Erian, Safwat Higazi, Husseini Antar, Bassem Ouda, Mohammed Gomaa Hassan, and Essam Ragab Rashwan, all of whom are locked up. Fugitive leaders Assem Abdel Magid, Ezzat Gouda, Anwar Shaltout, Azab Mostafa, Abdel Razzaq Mahmoud and Mohammed Ali Talha were also referred.
