| 2013-10-09 |
| [An Nahar] Egypt's cabinet on Tuesday ordered authorities to remove the Moslem Brüderbund from the list of approved non-governmental organizations following a judicial order, state media reported. The move comes after an Egyptian court last month banned the Moslem Brüderbund from operating and ordered its assets seized, amid a massive crackdown on the group following the military ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... In its September 23 ruling, the court had also banned "any institution branching out from or belonging to the Brotherhood". Morsi was Egypt's first democratically elected president but his turbulent one year rule came to an abrupt end when the military heeded the call of millions of Egyptians to oust him on July 3. His supporters have since taken to the streets to denounce what they say is a violation of democratic principles. But the army-installed authorities have pressed ahead with a massive campaign which has seen at least 1,000 Moslem Brüderbund supporters killed and around 2,000 incarcerated ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... , including the top leadership. Morsi, who belongs to the Moslem Brüderbund, has been tossed in the slammer Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! at an unknown location since his ouster. Egypt has been gripped by unrest since the 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... , but violence has sharply increased since Morsi was deposed. On Sunday, at least 57 people were killed in festivities between security forces and Morsi supporters and nearly 400 were maimed. |
