Minya security bodies on Saturday arrested 15 members of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group over their participation in anti-army and police protests in Minya and Beni Mazar townships.
The detainees are facing charges of breaching the protest law, instigating violence and disrupting public order.
Meanwhile, two suspects were arrested over their involvement in the unrest that took place in Minya in the wake of the dispersal of Rabaa Al-Adawiya and Nahdha sit-in camps in August last year.
