Members of opposition groups wave flags during an anti-President Mohamed Morsi rally at Tahrir Square in Cairo, capital of Egypt, on June 30, 2013.

The Egyptian prosecutor's office ordered on Sunday an investigation into two dead bodies which were found near the Muslim Brotherhood's Rabaa al-Adawiya protest camp in an eastern Cairo district.

The head of east Cairo prosecution said that torture marks were found on the bodies after their being inspected, which are likely to be the cause of the death.

He added that the bodies will be sent to forensics and that further investigations are in order.
