Egypt arrests Muslim Brotherhood spokesman
Egyptian police arrested spokesman of the Muslim Brotherhood Ahmed Aaref in Cairo in the early hours of Thursday, official news agency MENA reported.
Aaref has been transferred under intensive security measures to Torah
prison complex, where Brotherhood top leader Mohamed Badie and his
first deputy Khirate Shater, as well as hard-liner Islamist preacher
Safwat Hegazi and the group's media adviser Morad
Mohamed Ali are detained, the report said.
Aaref was arrested in his father-in-law's apartment in Cairo's northeastern district of Nasr City.
The apartment is near Rabaa al- Adawiya Square, one of the two sites where supporters of deposed President Mohamed Morsi used for their rallies.
According to another MENA report, the Egyptian prosecution has ordered the detention of Hegazi for 30 days (renewable) pending investigations of charges of inciting violence and killing anti- Morsi protesters.
