An Alexandria prosecutor ordered on Monday that 92 defendants be detained over violent confrontations that erupted by the Qaed Ibrahim Mosque and Alexandria Library.

Some of the defendants were arrested for opening fire on forces during a march against the army, leading to 12 deaths and tens of injuries that included 13 policemen, and causing damages to the library. 

The prosecutor also ordered that 85 defendants be detained on charges of participating in violence at the Qaed Ibrahim Mosque last Friday.
