Egypt's chief prosecutor has charged 75 people with murder or negligence over a riot which followed a football match. At least 74 people were killed when rival fans clashed after a game in Port Said between top-tier clubs al-Masry and al-Ahly on 1 February. Nine police officers are among those facing charges, say reports.
That's a lot of murder charges. Can you imagine going to a football match and have tensions escalate, eventually leading to people killing each other? It's quite ridiculous to think that people are willing to kill each other over a simple game.
