A Giza prosecutor decided on Sunday to detain Islamist leader Hazem Salah Abu Ismail for 15 days pending an investigation on allegations of inciting violence during recent protests, reported the state news agency.
Nine people were killed and tens were injured in clashes last Tuesday by Cairo University.
The general prosecution ordered Abu Ismail's arrest on Saturday.
