Cairo governor sends Child Park tree-trimming case to prosecution

Cairo Governorate has referred the excessive tree-pruning incident at Child Park in Misr El Gedida to the Public Prosecution and suspended all work.

• Cairo Governor Ibrahim Saber ordered the case referred to the Public Prosecution and halted all work in the park.
• A committee formed with Local Development Minister Manal Awad documented excessive pruning at the park.
• The Misr El Gedida Association, which manages the park, said its internal report cited a danger to children requiring branch cuts.
• Saber rejected that justification, citing pruning carried out without specialists' clearance and required approvals.
