Egyptian security forces have arrested two people for managing multiple Facebook pages they said were being used to support the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and encourage protest, the Interior Ministry said, Reuters news agency reports.
Interior Ministry spokesman Abu Bakr Abdel Karim is quoted as saying that between them they managed 47 accounts.
He said they were arrested "on charges of inciting against state institutions and spreading the ideas of the Muslim Brotherhood".
They had also "been calling for marches on 25 January", which is the fifth anniversary of the start of the uprising that ended Hosni Mubarak's almost 30-year presidential rule.
