CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's attorney general has referred an outspoken anti-Islamist former lawmaker for investigation by police prosecutors over claims he called for the downfall of the regime.
According to a statement released Sunday, the charge added to concerns that the government is backtracking on the democratic aims of the uprising that toppled the autocratic regime last year. The complaint submitted against Mohamed Abu-Hamed by another former lawmaker also accuses him of trying to mobilize Egypt's minority Coptic Christians to protest and cause religious strife. If the case is taken to court and he is found guilty, Abu-Hamed would face a maximum sentence of three years prison.
