| [Al Ahram] Twenty-four Moslem Brüderbund members were referred to the general prosecution Saturday on charges of forming a terrorist group, disturbing public security, and attacking the home of Mahmoud Badr, co-founder of the Rebel (Tamarod) campaign that spearheaded protests against former president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... The 24 accused were nabbed Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! Friday, a day that witnessed the deadliest festivities in two months as 14 were killed across Egypt in festivities between pro-Morsi protesters and security forces. The Rebel campaign, whose petition against Morsi mobilised millions for the 30 June protests that led to the ouster of Moslem Brüderbund leader Morsi from the presidency, said on its Facebook page Friday that Moslem Brüderbund supporters were attacking Badr's home and that residents of the neighbourhood clashed with the attackers in an attempt to protect the building. It was unclear whether Badr was inside the building. One of Morsi's staunchest opponents, Badr has been criticised for defending the policies of the current interim government despite its heavy-handed moves against opposition forces. |
