The bloc prepares a number of questionnaire and information requests that disclose the real detained number. Recently, the Brotherhood threatened to present the detention question to the parliament if the government did not release them soon.
 
Saad el-Katatny, the MB bloc’s head, stated that they make a questionnaire on the detentions have been launched during November’s elections. The questionnaire includes an account on their numbers and detected abuse to which they were subject. It, in addition, reflects the public outrage regarding this unjustified arrest campaign that targeted those who were practicing their constitutional and legal right of voting.
 
In their first parliamentary confrontation, the ruling National Democratic Party achieved victory over the Brotherhood in the vote of the parliament committees. The NDP seized the presidency over the19 committees while the MB grabbed the deputy position of the Health Committee.
