Forces went into the mosques arresting 14 Muslim Brotherhood members who were spending the last 10 days of Ramadan at the mosque in Abu Kabir in the Sharqia governorate. Among those arrested where young boys who were later released after they were transferred with the other detainees to the Abo Kabir precinct.
