In a related issue, the Interior Ministry once again has challenged court’s rulings and issued today a decision to re-arrest Osama Suleiman, a leading Muslim Brotherhood leader in Beheira and Dr. Naji Al-Qamhawi (Muslim Brotherhood candidate in the 2008 local council elections). They were transferred by security services to Al-abhadiyya prison in Damanhour despite former acquittals by the Damanhour Misdemeanor Court and the Damanhour Criminal court.

 The Security services arrested four Brotherhood members from the Beheira governorate on October 10, 2009, while they were organizing protests to defend Al-Aqsa Mosque.
