CAIRO, December 17 (Xinhua) -- Egypt's newly-appointed prosecutor general, Talat Ibrahim Abdullah, submitted his resignation to the head of Supreme Council of Justice on Monday, state TV reported.
The resignation came hours after a fresh protest on Monday held by some members of the general prosecution outside the office of Abdullah, demanding him to resign.
The resignation will be discussed in a session of the judicial council set for Sunday.
On November 22, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi appointed Abdullah, a member of the judiciary, as new prosecutor general for four years, to replace former prosecutor general Abdel-Maguid Mahmoud.
