RIGGING IS A GOVERNMENT PIRACY

The Muslim Brotherhood(MB) Shura candidates in Egypt held a press conference revealing the atrocious violations practiced against the MB followers and supporters in their constituencies during the midterm Shura elections describing the procedures as ‘government piracy.’ The candidates described measures taken to rob the people of their free will and right to choose their own representative during elections.  Media spokesmen for the bloc Dr. Mohamed Morsy and Dr. Essam el Erian participated in the conference along with Saad el Husseiny and Dr. Mohamed Katatni Morsy described the rigging as a crime against the nation with the regime’s insistence to oppose the people’s call for true reform. He pointed out that the Brotherhood is determined to continue calling for peaceful reform adding that the constitution stipulates free elections which is without doubt a significant tool for this reform. Morsy maintained that the group along with other opposition factions in society will follow through with their demands.
