Egypt’s new public prosecutor has offered to resign from his post after protests about his appointment.
Talaat Ibrahim was appointed by President Mohammed Morsi last month after his predecessor was sacked.
The move prompted anger among members of the judiciary who saw the sacking of Abdel Maguid Mahmoud as an attack on their independence.
Judges and officials had demonstrated outside Mr Ibrahim’s office on Monday, called on him to stand down.
Security forces prevented a group of the protesters from going into the office to demand a meeting.
