Mr. Khalaf Bayyoumi, the Muslim Brotherhood lawyer in Alexandria, has stated to ikhwanweb saying “We are now waiting for the legal procedures that have to undergo. No Legal procedures have taken place till now concerning this detention, and they are still kept in the Central Security camp in Mersa Matrouh.

Adding, “These continuous detentions prove the complete failure of the plan of political reform claimed by the Egyptian ruling regime. It’s only a proof for the oppression policy used by the Egyptian regime to suppress any kind of Egyptian opposition; even they were just having fun in a resort and doing nothing else.
