They can set two cabs on fire, beat the drivers and get away with it, because they are “Heliopolis Club members and sons of important people in the country.”

MB boycott Cairo and Ain Shams SU elections
The Muslim Brothers are boycotting the student union elections in Cairo and Ain Shams Universities to protest security interference. Just like before, thugs were allowed into Ain Shams U campus to assault the student activists.
Correction: No clashes happened in Ain Shams on the same scale as 2006. The plainclothes thugs were indeed brought to campus, and there was a stand off. But no fighting happened as MBs decided to withdraw from the elections.
