CAIRO, Apr 9 (Aswat Masriya) - A Cairo court sentenced on Thursday former governor of the Nile Delta province of Sharqiya, who served under former President Mohamed Mursi, to four years in prison for protesting and inciting violence in Cairo's Nasr City district.

Former Governor Hassan al-Naggar was also fined 50,000 Egyptian pounds.

According to investigations, al-Naggar was arrested while leading -among others- a protest by Muslim Brotherhood supporters in Nasr City last March, where protesters "cut off the road, disrupted traffic and security, and chanted against the armed forces, police and state institutions".

He was also referred to the disciplinary council in the case dubbed by the media as "Judges for Egypt movement", the investigations added.

Naggar was one of 15 judges accused of forming the Judges for Egypt movement, which is accused of supporting Mursi. 

Egypt listed the Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation in December 2013 and insists it is behind the wave of militancy which has targeted security personnel since July 2013. The Brotherhood continuously denies the accusations.
