The state security forces raided on Thursday Feb., 15, 2007 the houses of the 39 MB leaders in Sharqiya and detained them as part of a wide-scale crackdown that included many governorates nationwide.

For his part, Dr. Mohamed Mursi, a Muslim Brotherhood Executive Bureau member and MB leader in Shariqiya, said that this ruling is unjust because there is no real charge against the detainees.

Mursi said that the case is politically motivated and has no releation with the charges against the detainees.

“We respect the Egyptian fair judicial system but this is a politically motivated case” added Mursi.
