Morsy, Al-Erian, 500 MB and Kefaya Activists Arrested

Security forces continued its vicious and unmerciful attacks against peaceful demonstrators this morning while expressing their solidarity with the judges. Police arrested 500 activists from different political forces and members of the Muslim Brotherhood among them several prominent leaders including Dr. Essam al-Erlian, Dr. Moahmed Morsy, and Mr. Maged Hassan during a protest at the Al Galaa Courts’ Consortium Buliding in Cairo.

 

Police also arrested more than hundred others from different areas in and around Cairo. Massive police forces sealed off all exits to Cairo to prevent large numbers of people from participating in demonstrations.

 

Police Assault and arrest Dr. Mohamed Morsy

 

In a disgraceful act, police this morning assaulted Dr. Mohamed Morsy, member of the Muslim Brotherhood Executive Bureau former head of the MB Parliamentary bloc, while being taken into custody. Arrested also at the scene at Abbasya district in Cairo, was Mr. Mohsen Radi, MP of the Muslim Brotherhood.  

 

Police repeatedly used unjustified excessive force, beating and assaulting protestors and dragging them on the streets.

 

Several Muslim Brotherhood protests erupted in different areas in Cairo and were led by parliament members of the MB and independents who held banners reading, “The people’s representatives are with the judges”

 

Egyptian Intifada!

 

Several protestors were seen throwing stones at police officers in self-defense, police used electric sticks and truncheons to beat up protestors indiscriminately in a scene that resembled the Palestinian Intifada against Israeli Occupying Forces. As a result, traffic was brought to a standstill.

 

Scores arrested in Alexandria

 

Police also arrested scores of the Muslim Brothers in Alexandria northern of Egypt during largely peaceful demonstrations in support of the judges. The arrests included several prominent leaders of the city’s Muslim Brotherhood administrative office among them are Mohamed Ibrahim and Ibrahim Al said, who were arrested at the train station while traveling to Cairo to participate in demonstrations.

 

Police also sealed the main highways between Cairo and Alexandria to block protestors in and out of the two main cities.

 

According to Dr. Ali Abdelfatah, leader of MB in Alexandria, it is difficult to track down the exact number of people who were taken into custody since more arrests are still underway. Some estimated put the number to 500 or maybe more.
