The International Organisation of the Muslim Brotherhood has been holding meetings to plan increasing \u201cBrotherhood assaults in the country (Egypt) against military and police personnel,\u201d the Interior Ministry has claimed.<\/p>\n

The plan the ministry revealed also includes targeting public and private institutions \u201cand spreading panic among citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ministry released a statement on Saturday, saying that the plan it discovered was set to be implemented over the next three months. Its purpose, the ministry says, was to imply locally and internationally that the regime is incapable of managing the state\u2019s affairs and implementing the roadmap.<\/p>\n

Mostafa Al-Khatib, a member of the media team of the Freedom and Justice Party\u2019s website said talk of the Brotherhood carrying out assaults is \u201cnot correct.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not [like] the Brotherhood\u2019s behaviour to carry arms,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The ministry stated that the plan includes \u201cobstructing the roadmap,\u201d particularly the referendum on the constitution. Al-Khatib said the Anti-Coup Alliance, which includes the Brotherhood, does not even acknowledge the legitimacy of what is going on so as to obstruct it.<\/p>\n

The plan allegedly involves organising action in public transportation during rush hours in order to disrupt traffic, continuing to hold events in schools and universities and even escalating action in order to disrupt classes. Students across the county, including from\u00a0Cairo University<\/a>,\u00a0Al-Azhar<\/a>,\u00a0Mansoura<\/a>,\u00a0Alexandria<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Zagazig<\/a>\u00a0 universities, have held demonstrations since the beginning of the academic year. In many cases, the protests have turned into violent stand-offs with security forces.<\/p>\n

Al-Khatib said events will continue but \u201cnot with the purpose of obstructing traffic. The purpose is to oppose the coup.\u201d<\/p>\n

The plan the ministry cited includes launching a campaign against members of the Constituent Assembly who are currently amending the constitution and announcing a black list with the names of the judges and members of prosecution investigating the charges against Brotherhood members.<\/p>\n

The alleged plan also includes expanding the base of Anti-Coup Alliance, also known as the National Coalition to Support Legitimacy, and spreading geographically including with a focus on Greater Cairo.<\/p>\n

The statement details that Brotherhood members have held \u201csecret meetings\u201d in some governorates to agree on mechanisms for the plan.<\/p>\n

After learning that Muslim Brotherhood members in Alexandria were planning to hold a meeting on Friday, security forces arrested 13 of them in possession of several documents including one that detailed the plan. But lawyer Ahmed Al-Ghamry said the 13 people who were arrested do not all belong to the Muslim Brotherhood. \u201cThey belong to different currents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The ministry said the 13 who were arrested are being presented to the prosecution to commence investigations.<\/p>\n

Authorities have led a crackdown on the Islamists after Morsi\u2019s ouster on 3 July and most Brotherhood leaders have been detained, many facing trials. On 23 September the circuit court for urgent matters in Abdeen ruled to disband<\/a> the Muslim Brotherhood Organisation and ordered the confiscation of its capital.<\/p>\n

Muslim Brotherhood figures who have been detained and have frozen assets include Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood Mohamed Badie and his deputies Khairat El-Shater and Rashad Bayoumi. Former MPs\u00a0Mohamed Al-Beltagy<\/a>\u00a0and Farid Ismail, and former Shura Council member Sobhi Saleh are also\u00a0behind bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
