Egypt's prosecution ordered on Monday the summoning of Editor-in-Chief of the Ahram state newspaper Abdel Nasser Salama to question him over publishing false news, reported the Middle East News Agency.

The daily newspaper published in its Monday edition a report stating that the prosecuter-general has ordered the arrest of deposed President Mohamed Mursi for 15 days pending investigations.

The prosecution's media coordinator stressed that the information published by the state-run newspaper regarding Mursi is false.

He said that the prosecution would not tolerate inaccuracy from writers and that all legal procedures would be taken against them.
