Friday morning saw the arrests of 15 leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sharqia. Among those detained was former MP Dr. Sayed Abdul Hamid, who was visiting one of the movements' members. The detainees are currently being held illegitimately in an unknown location and had their houses raided after their arrests. Security forces confiscated books, documents, computers and discs from the houses of the detainees. Dr Sayed Abdul Hamid Sabry Abdul Maqsud Dr Gamal Alsayed Abdul Alwahed Khaled Shalaby Dr Mahmoud Alhawary Abdullah Abdul Qader Mohamed Abdul Moeen Mahmoud Alkashef Khaled Alsayed Deif Mohamed Yusef Atwa Samir Soliman Dawoud Abdul Rahman Tantawy Hesham Alghatoury Alsayed Abdul Mageed Ahmed Awad Government security has held large-scale arrests and crackdowns on members of the brotherhood and in particular highly ranked leaders and administrators. Abdul Monem Abdul Maqsoud the Brotherhood's Defense lawyer asserted to Ikhwanonline that "The continued arrests of the Brotherhood's members are unjust with no legal basis. The regime's futile attempts to deter the brotherhood's will, strength and persistence will continue to fail. The Muslim Brotherhood will continue to be available to the public even if there are sacrifices".
