Dr. Mohammed Badie, Chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), met with more than 25 leaders representing different political parties members of the ruling.

Security bodies exercised oppression and injustice against innocent people and State-controlled media outlets distorting facts, calling for the prosecution of  all responsible for killing protesters and destroying Egypt by civilian courts.

judges.

Badie emphasized that he had already extended an invitation to all political forces, from the right to the left, entitled " A Dialogue for Egypt 4", where the participants offered a package of proposals to lift Egypt up from tyranny.

"We wished Mubarak responds to the needs of his people, but he pays no attention and has caused all that is happening to Egypt in terms of disasters throughout his 30-year reign. Badie held him responsible for all these heinous crimes.

He invited all political forces to engage in "A Dialogue for Egypt 5" on Wednesday, 16/03/2011 to abolish the argument that this period is not sufficient to hold free elections, urging to make a consensual and open list for people have the right to choose their own representatives.
