Police general, conscript to be tried over concealing evidence in killing of
female protester
Egypt's public prosecutor on Tuesday sent to trial a police general and a
conscript for concealing evidence in the fatal killing of a leftist female
protester, Shaimaa al-Sabbagh, during a peaceful rally in central Cairo, a
judicial source said. The prosecutor said in a statement that the pair,
including a major general who the led forces that dispersed the protest, will
be tried over charges of denying seeing the suspect while shooting al-Sabbagh.
The source said the charges might be punishable by up to a year in jail. The
move came a day after another police officer was charged
over the shooting of Sabbagh. [Ahram
