Egyptian lawmaker held for trying to free arrested nephew: source

The politician intended to free his nephew, who had told him he was locked up after being arrested at a cafe because he did not have his identity card on him.
Mandhur went to the police station in Deshna, near the old southern city of Luxor, along with several of his supporters, shouting "I am a deputy" and demanding his nephew's release, said the same source.
He allegedly injured a policeman during the fracas before being detained along with his supporters.
Informed of the incident, the interior ministry and state prosecutor requested the lifting of his parliamentary immunity, which occurred Saturday ahead of his arrest in Deshna.
Mandhur will remain in detention for at least four days while prosecutors investigate the incident.
