Abdel- Mohsen Qamhawi, the MB candidate in Talkha city, stated to Ikhwanweb that a number of his supporters who were distributing flyers for the MB candidates, were detained.


 


He added that election campaign is open and free for everyone but the Muslim Brotherhood, which contradicts with what the government promised to have a fair campaign.


 


Abdel- Mohsen Qamhawi also said that the government is restraining and oppressing his and supporters’ freedom. There are many obstacles facing him “personally” when he tries to use his legal and constitutional rights represented in communicating with his peoples in the department, and delivering his own election advertisements and messages.


It’s worth noting that the Egyptian authorities have removed all posters and   advertisements of the MB electors. It also has taken some books and computers during the vulgar arrest campaigns.


 


It’s also worth noting that  the Egyptian authorities are having nearly daily arrest campaigns against the MB members and leaders. All this is to hinder their participation in the coming Shura elections. More than 50 members of the MB group have been arrested only within the last 2 days.
