The others are still interrogated.
 
For his part, Mohsen Radi, the MB parliamentarian for the constituency of Banha, Al-Qalyubia, that these detentions are part of the Egyptian regime”s ongoing crackdown against leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood ahead of the Shura Council midterm elections scheduled to be held next June, 11th.
Radi confirmed in a statement to Ikhwanweb that these detentions are expected by the Muslim Brotherhood. This is due to the fact the Egyptian regime adopts this policy because of its very low public rating and the very high public rating of all Muslim Brotherhood candidates.
 
Radi pointed out that the Egyptian regime found no solution to beat the Muslim Brotherhood except through launching more unjust sweeps of arrest against its leaders and members. 
 
It is worth mentioning that there are ongoing sweeps of arrests against leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in the constituencies in which the MB declared it fielded candidates to run the Shura Council elections. The total number of MB members and leaders detained during the past two days reached about 80
