Muslim Brotherhood: Putschists Responsible for Leader, Detainees Health

In a press statement late on Monday (August 2), the Muslim Brotherhood said it held Egypt’s Ministry of Interior and the Public Prosecution Service fully responsible for the health and well-being of the group’s leader and all other prisoners, whether they were Muslim Brotherhood members or otherwise.

The Brotherhood pointed to the difference between the way ousted Mubarak’s officials, imprisoned on real charges, were treated, and the way anti-coup detainees, jailed on totally false charges, are being mistreated now, just because they are expressing their opinion rejecting the military coup.
