A Cairo court ruled against the public prosecutor's appeal against the release on bail of policemen accused of killing protesters in Suez during the 25 January revolution.
On 4 July, the Suez Criminal Court ordered 14 defendants, including seven police officers, released on bail until their trials.
The policemen's defense team deemed the prosecutor's appeal illegal.
The prosecutor called for the arrest of Suez Security head Osama al-Tawil, accusing him of helping some suspects, who did not appear since an earlier hearing on 12 June, to escape.
In Arbaeen Square in Suez, families of the victims have been striking in anticipation of the court ruling on the appeal.
Another 200 members of victims' families blocked the Cairo-Suez road in protest on Tuesday.
