Egypt passes law shielding senior military officers from prosecution

CAIRO - Egypt's parliament passed a law on Monday that could make senior military officers immune from future prosecution tied to violence which followed the 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Mursi.

The law grants President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi the right to name officers who are eligible for rewards that include ministerial benefits and immunity from investigation for any offenses committed from July 3, 2013 until June 8, 2014, the period from Mursi's overthrow to Sisi's first day as president.

Hundreds were killed when security forces broke up a sit-in at Cairo's Rabaa Square in support of Mursi in August 2013, in one of the bloodiest events in Egypt's recent history.
