Brotherhood deputy leader Mohamed Habib said police were holding 13 senior members after raiding their homes on Saturday in and around the town of Abu Hammad, about 70 km (40 miles) northeast of the capital Cairo. He said the authorities were trying to disrupt the Islamist movement's preparations for June 11 elections to the Shoura Council, or upper house of parliament, which the Brotherhood is contesting with at least 17 candidates for the 88 seats. "This is the beginning of the violations in the electoral campaign. The regime will not change its means or its methods in dealing with the opposition or the Brotherhood," he added. He said the latest detentions bring to about 300 the number of Muslim Brotherhood members in custody, mostly without charge. The Brotherhood is Egypt's largest opposition group, with 88 seats in the 454-seat parliament. The authorities call it an illegal organisation and refuse to let it form a party. Police often detain members for holding meetings, possessing Brotherhood literature or belonging to an illegal group. The state news agency said police had found Brotherhood documents at the site of the meeting on Saturday and the public prosecutor's office was investigating.
