 Ahmed Al-Beily, deputy chairman of the MB administrative bureau in
 Damietta said in an exclusive statement to Ikhwanweb that such arrest
 campaigns have been expected long time ago.  The municipal elections
 are underway, and there are plans to exclude MB candidates, though
 election fraud is almost certain, he added.

 However, Al-Beily maintained that such detentions would never affect
 the MB’s decision to take part in the coming municipal elections of
 April 8, and it would never prevent potential MB candidates from
 running.
