Egypt government has ended the service of 505 senior officers including 18 major generals, 9 brigadier-generals, and 82 colonels who were accused of killing protesters. According to Egyptian official online media Al Ahram, Egypt’s Minister of Interior, Mansour El-Eissawi announced in a press conference in Cairo last evening that overall 4000 police officers have been affected in the reshuffle. In the reshuffle, several police officers accused of killing protesters were reassigned duties that do not require interaction with the public. He also defended the role of the police in the revolution, claiming that the ministry does not have snipers and that as policemen were already absent from the streets from 28 January they could not have been involved in the shooting of protesters from that date.
