The Democratic Alliance for Egypt – along with other political forces – have reported General Hassan Al-Rowini, commander of the Central Military Zone; ‎General Hamdi Badin, head of the military police, and Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim, to the prosecutor ‎general, accusing them of ‎instigating the recent killing of protesters in and around Tahrir Square.‎

Wahid Abdel Megid, a spokesperson for alliance, said they had accused the trio of failing to properly protect the People’s Assembly, which was damaged over ‎the past days, and of killing protesters. ‎

The alliance was among various political groups taking part in a sit-in at the ‎cabinet office. ‎

Bloody confrontations between protesters and military police broke out on Friday after a ‎crackdown on the sit-in. The death toll has risen to 12 and over 500 ‎have been injured so far. ‎

Many deaths were caused by live ammunition, however, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces ‎‎(SCAF) has strenuously denied that its forces fired at protesters. ‎

Many pictures and videos show military police shooting at demonstrators.‎
