2006-07-10
CAIRO - Egyptian security forces have detained 30 leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the latest arrests in a crackdown on the countryÂ’s strongest opposition movement, the groupÂ’s deputy leader said on Sunday. Mohammed Habib told Reuters 27 Brotherhood members were arrested in the town of Ras Al Bir on EgyptÂ’s north coast during a meeting on Saturday to discuss education reform. Three others were taken from their homes in the same town, he said.

The Interior Ministry said the 27 had been arrested while meeting to discuss the BrotherhoodÂ’s activism among students and teachers. They had also been discussing plans for contesting union elections, it said.
