Al Shater, MB Leaders to State Security Prosecution on Saturday

Al Shater, MB Leaders to State Security Prosecution on Saturday

Engineer Khayrat Al Shater, the second deputy chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood, along with other 15 MB leaders are expected to appear in front of the Higher State Security Prosecution in Cairo over the so called Al-Azhar student case.


All students will appear also from next Monday to Thursday- 30 students per time.
Engineer Khairat Al Shater refused to reply to the questions of the State Security Prosecution- that started investigating with him at 10.00 PM last Thursday till 7.00 am Friday morning- challenging the legitimacy of investigating with him.


The MB deputy chairman confirmed- before refusing to answer the questions- that the case he is accused of is politically motivated and aims at distorting the group’s image and its national role, adding that the confiscated money- up to 40 thousand Egyptian pounds, 20 thousand dollars and some foreign currencies estimated up to hundreds of Egyptian pounds- is related to economic projects that he runs.
It is worth noting that the Egyptian security forces arrested 16 leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood and about 140 students from Al-Azhar University, on allegations that they formed armed militias for the Muslim Brotherhood.
