CAIRO, June 25 (Aswat Masriya) A prosecutor ordered on Wednesday that 23 people, including seven women, who were arrested late on Saturday for breaking the protest law be referred to trial on June 29. 

The defendants are accused of stirring chaos, assembling, breaking the protest law, vandalizing public and private property and arms possession. 

They are also accused of resisting the authorities and attacking security forces.
