Prosecutors have ordered extensions to detentions of Islamist figures for another 15 days, as questioning continues over violence that erupted in Giza's Bein al-Sarayat neighbourhood, killing 23 and injured over two hundred more.
Figures who will remain in custody are Salafi preacher Hazem Salah Abu Ismail, Muslim Brotherhood leader Helmy al-Gazzar and Brotherhood-linked lawyer Abdel Moneim Abdel Maqsoud.
Wasat Part chief Abul Ela Mady and former MP Mohamed al-Omda will also be detained.
Prosecutors also accused suspects of murder, attempted murder, forming a terrorist group to intimidate citizens and threatening national security.
