Protesters in Alexandria surround the home of the head of criminal investigations, demanding the release of Cairo activists

Tens of political activists Wednesday surrounded the home in Alexandria's Semouha district of the head of Criminal Investigations Nasser El-Abd, demanding release of detainees arrested last week during a protest at the home of the interior minister.

The protesters chanted against the Ministry of Interior while besieging the house, complaining of the "Brotherhoodiasation" of the ministry.

Members of the April 6 Movement were arrested last week while demonstrating at the home of the interior minister in Cairo, protesting the ministry's "Mubarak era violations."
