An Egyptian prosecutor has ordered that businessman and senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood Khairat al-Shater be detained for 15 days for inciting violence in clashes that happened at the end of last year. 

Violent confrontations broke out near the Heliopolis presidential palace last December when supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi forcibly dispersed a sit-in held by his opponents. 

Mursi’s opponents had gathered to protest constitutional decrees issued by the Islamist president. 

The same prosecutor has released Saad al-Katatni, the head of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party and former Speaker of the now-dissolved parliament.

Sufficient evidence was not found against Katatni.
