Presidential advisor to meet with former Brotherhood members
2013-09-30
[Al Ahram] Presidential media advisor Ahmed El-Muslimany said on Sunday that he will meet with young former members of the Moslem Brüderbund this week.

El-Muslimany told Al-Ahram Arabic website that the meeting will include 20 young people who were once members of the Islamist group.

"The aim of this meeting is to hear those youth, as we have earlier heard the point of views and opinions of many political forces," said the front man.

An informed source told Al-Ahram that the meeting will also be attended by a number of former leading Brotherhood members.

Well-known laywer Tharwat El-Kharbawi, former MP Mokhtar Nouh, former Brotherhood front man in Europe Kamal El-Helbawi, and journalist Abdel-Galil El-Sharnoubi will attend, according to the source.

The youth groups invited reportedly include members of the Moslem Brüderbund Youth Coalition, formed following the ouster of Morsi in 3 July, and the Moslem Brüderbund Against Violence Movement.

The source added that there was also an attempt to include the more influential groups such as the Revolt Movement or Youth Against the Coup, but they refused until the government ends its arrest campaign against young Brotherhood members.
