Egypt’s top prosecutor has charged 75 people with murder and negligence in connection with a deadly football riot last month in the Mediterranean city of Port Said. A total of 74 people were killed after a riot erupted during an Egyptian League football match. Egyptian health officials also said that at least 1,000 people were injured after fans chased Al Ahly soccer players after they lost a match to the home team. The fans cornered supporters on the field in the port city of Port Said and around the stadium, throwing stones and bottles at them, which led to a stampede that killed the 74 fans. The crush followed a pitch invasion when Port Said-based al-Masry beat Cairo’s Al Ahly, the most successful club in Africa, on Feb. 2.
