Mursi: the MB has no secret relations with western Governments
Subsequent stories of alleged secret engagement between the UK and the Muslim Brotherhood following Derek Pasquill’s release were met with refutation by MB Executive Bureau in Cairo.
Executive Bureau senior member Muhammad Mursi denied any such contact saying, “the Muslim Brotherhood is a social and public entity which deals openly with other public organizations and NGOs. We take part in conferences and seminars; we have numerous contacts with western media, think-tanks, and rights groups for one clear purpose: to highlight our Moderate Islamist trend which does not embrace violence and condemns it wherever it is committed, be that by individuals, organizations, groups, or even countries.”
Mursi added that the government of Egypt, represented by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, should be the MB’s channel for any official contact with foreign governments.
