EGYPT: SENIOR MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD FIGURES DETAINED
Cairo, 6 May (AKI) - Egyptian security forces on Friday arrested Isam
al-Arial, a member of the political executive of the Muslim
Brotherhood, according to a spokesman quoted by satellite television
network al-Jazeera. Other leading figures in the organisation, which
is officially banned but tolerated in Egypt, were reportedly arrested
along with al-Arial.
The arrests, made after Friday prayers, come during a stand-off
between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian government, worsened
two days ago by a series of protest rallies that ended in clashes
between police and demonstrators, hundreds of whom were arrested.
The Muslim Brotherhood is asking for institutional reforms and the
abolition of the emergency laws that have been in force in Egypt since
1985.
The constitutional affairs committee of the Egyptian parliament on
Thursday approved amendments to article 76 of the constitution, which
would pave the way for multiple candidates in upcoming presidential
elections. The reform was proposed in February, by President Hosni
Mubarak in response to international and domestic pressure for greater
democracy and political pluralism.
