Saad El-Katatni, the former parliament speaker and head of the brotherhood’s political wing, and Rashad al-Bayoumi, a deputy brotherhood leader, were arrested Thursday. Egypt’s public prosecutor ordered their release, although they remain under investigation for “inciting violence,” according to Reuters.
