| 2013-10-31 |
| [Al Ahram] Prosecutors have ordered the detention of Essam El-Erian for 30 days pending investigations into charges of instigating street festivities. The vice president of the Moslem Brüderbund's Freedom and Justice Party will be held for 15 days over festivities between local residents and supporters of 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 Giza's Bayn Al-Sarayat district in July, and for a further 15 days over festivities near Giza's Al-Istiqama Mosque in August. He denies the charges. In September, El-Erian was charged in absentia for his alleged involvement in festivities in Giza's Al-Bahr Al-Azam district in July. He also faces separate charges of inciting the murder of protesters on several other occasions, including at the Ittihadiya presidential palace in December 2012 and at the Brotherhood headquarters in June 2013. A number of other Brotherhood leaders are being investigated on the same charges. Security forces locked away Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! El-Erian at a flat in Cairo's Fifth Settlement suburb in the early hours of Wednesday. |
