Ikhwanweb :: The Muslim Brotherhood Official English Website

Ahmed Aref, Muslim Brotherhood media spokesman, rejected as false rumors alleging the arrest of Dr. Mohamed Badie, Muslim Brotherhood Chairman.

Aref affirmed that the rumors were simply utter lies - the continuation of the deliberate lies and rumors war already underway.

Separately, Ayman Abdel-Ghani, leading member of Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), said in a statement to Ikhwanweb: "Khairat Al-Shater, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Vice-Chairman, has not been arrested.

"There is a continuing security effort to indeed arrest him."

Abdel-Ghani explained that authorities evidently have a vengeful security plan to continuously hunt and prosecute Muslim Brotherhood and FJP leaders, to violate freedoms in a repressive manner painfully reminiscent of the Mubarak regime's blatant and bloody crimes against the Muslim Brotherhood.
