Egypt activists to stand trial for protesting without permission-judicial source
        
Egypt's public prosecutor referred three political activists to trial on Thursday on charges including protesting without permission, a judicial source said.         

It was the first case of activists being charged under the provisions of a new law criticised for stifling the right to protest.         

The activists charged on Thursday include Ahmed Maher, founder of the April 6 movement that helped ignite the historic 2011 uprising against former President Hosni Mubarak, and Ahmed Douma, another prominent dissident.           

They are also charged with assaulting police.
