The Public Prosecution said on Sunday that there was no evidence implicating President Mohamed Morsy in the killings of protesters in front of Ettehadiya Palace or in any other part of the country.
Public Prosecution Spokesperson Mostafa Dowidar said during a press conference held in his office that all reports and complaints filed with prosecutors are being investigated in accordance with the law.
Dowidar added that the Public Prosecution has no evidence against the president, saying that violence during riots was out of the president's control.
Clashes between anti-Morsy demonstrators and security forces left at least 58 people dead in the vicinity of the presidential palace in Cairo and other governorates since protests marking the second anniversary of the 25 January revolution.
Dowidar said that the prosecutor general's position is not politicized and serves all Egyptian people, citing investigations into complaints against Islamic groups as evidence.
Morsy appointed Abdallah as a successor to Abdel Meguid Mahmoud in his November constitutional declaration, prompting many members of the judiciary to go on strike.
Regarding the death of activist Mohamed al-Gendy, Dowidar denied a statement from Justice Minister Ahmed Mekky alleging that Gendy was killed in a car accident, saying that the cause of his death had not yet been determined.
Gendy died in a hospital last week after disappearing on 28 January from Tahrir Square. The hospital said he had been in a car crash, but a human rights lawyer said that he had clear torture marks on his body and accused the hospital of changing Gendy's arrival date to cover up his kidnapping.
