Prosecutors on Wednesday ordered the detention of 19 members of the Ultras Ahlawy group for four days pending investigation, charged with blocking the Salah Salem road leading to the airport and assaulting citizens as well as police personnel.
The Ultras denied the charges and claimed police arrested them randomly.
The defense asked for their bail and considered the charges as too general.
The Ultras were protesting to demand the release of their fellow members who were detained in clashes with police at Cairo Airport upon the arrival of the Ahly football team on Sunday.
