Egyptian police acquitted of protester deaths during Mubarak uprising
Sep 12th 2013, 14:02

CAIRO –  An Egyptian court has acquitted 10 policemen and four civilians of the killings of several protesters during the 2011 uprising against former President Hosni Mubarak.

Nearly 200 policemen and Mubarak-era officials have been charged with the killing of 900 protesters in various trials since his ouster. Most of the suspects have been acquitted.

Lawyers and rights activists say the prosecutors' cases are weak and laws have no adequate provisions to try officials for such crimes.

Egypt's state news agency MENA says the court on Thursday found the policemen, a businessman and his three sons not guilty of killing 17 protesters in January 2011 in Suez -- a city at the southern tip of the Suez Canal that saw some of the first protester deaths in dramatic confrontations with police.
