 The Egyptian Prosecutor General referred a child of a Muslim Brotherhood leader to a children's court on Wednesday after failing to arrest his father, a London-based newspaper reported.

According to Al-Araby Al-Yawm newspaper, Egyptian security forces broke into the house of MB leader Rafaat Hamed last April to arrest him, but they arrested his 17-years-old son instead after failing to find him.

The prosecutor general referred Hamed's son to a children's court on charges of arming youth protests, which his lawyer dismisses as entirely trumped-up and aimed at pressuring his father, currently at large.
