Police also arrested more than hundred others from different areas in and around Cairo. Massive police forces sealed off all exits to Cairo to prevent large numbers of people from participating in demonstrations.

 

Police Assault and arrest Dr. Mohamed Morsy

Arrested also at the scene at Abbasya district in Cairo, was Mr. Mohsen Radi, MP of the Muslim Brotherhood.  

 

Police repeatedly used unjustified excessive force, beating and assaulting protestors and dragging them on the streets.

 

Several Muslim Brotherhood protests erupted in different areas in Cairo and were led by parliament members of the MB and independents who held banners reading, “The people’s representatives are with the judges”

 

Egyptian Intifada!

 

Several protestors were seen throwing stones at police officers in self-defense, police used electric sticks and truncheons to beat up protestors indiscriminately in a scene that resembled the Palestinian Intifada against Israeli Occupying Forces. As a result, traffic was brought to a standstill.

 

Scores arrested in Alexandria

 

Police also arrested scores of the Muslim Brothers in Alexandria northern of Egypt during largely peaceful demonstrations in support of the judges. The arrests included several prominent leaders of the city’s Muslim Brotherhood administrative office among them are Mohamed Ibrahim and Ibrahim Al said, who were arrested at the train station while traveling to Cairo to participate in demonstrations.

 

Police also sealed the main highways between Cairo and Alexandria to block protestors in and out of the two main cities.

 

According to Dr. Ali Abdelfatah, leader of MB in Alexandria, it is difficult to track down the exact number of people who were taken into custody since more arrests are still underway. Some estimated put the number to 500 or maybe more.
