In a serious escalation, police forces in Egypt arrested Khyrat El Shatter, Second Deputy Chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood along with more than 180 students affiliated with the MB at Al Azhar University, in addition to several staff members. Among those who were arrested is Ayman Abdelghany, El shatter’s son in-law and the coordinator of the MB’s Students Department. The arrests took place around 3:00 AM-Cairo time- on Thursday, when huge numbers of police forces sealed off Nasr City district, where El Shatter’s apartment is located, arresting him, before heading towards Al Azhar University Campus arresting the entire 180 students living at al Safa dormitory. The campaign of arrests extended to include several staff members at Al Azhar University among them, Dr. Fareed Galbat, prof. of international law at the Faculty of Law and Sharia; Dr. Essam Abdel Mohsen, Prof. of Biochemistry at the Faculty of Medicine; and Dr. Salah Al Desoky, Teacher at the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine; in addition to Engineer Mamduh Al Hussini, a senior MB leader from Cairo. The arrest of the Second Deputy Chairman among other senior MB leaders is a major escalation on the part of the Egyptian government towards the Muslim Brotherhood and another major setback for the hollow promises of political reform always given by the Egyptian regime. The state controlled media in Egypt has been waging a campaign of intimidation and misinformation against the Muslim Brotherhood in recent days following the infamous semi military parade organized by MB students in Al Azhar University, which was part of a play the students were performing. Despite the MB students’ apology for the misunderstanding created by their parade, government sources have capitalized on the mishap and began to disseminate false information about alleged MB’s militia, accusations that strongly rejected by the MB leaders.
