Charges dismissed against protesters

AN Egyptian criminal court has invoked a presidential amnesty and dismissed charges against 379 people accused of taking part in deadly clashes with police. The charges stem from nearly two weeks of fighting in downtown Cairo in November 2011 that left 42 people dead.

Young protesters, mostly die-hard soccer fans, led demonstrations against police near the Interior Ministry and Tahrir Square, the hub of Cairo's activist movement.
