The Prosecutor General has ordered an investigation into the death of 22-year-old detainee Mohamed Afroto, who was allegedly killed in police custody on Friday, Al Masry Al Youm reports. Police sources denied being responsible for Afroto’s death, which caused “dozens” to attack the police station where he was being held for charges in a drug case, the Associated Press says, citing MENA. The protesters reportedly set a police car on fire and tried to storm the station, and security forces fired tear gas and arrested several people.
