Mubarak’s crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood continues. The group announced today that around 30 of its members were detained by State Security who raided their homes in the early morning in the provinces of Tanta, Sharqiya and Daqahliya.
Meanwhile, the family of Khairat el-Shatter, the MB deputy Supreme Guide, is expressing concern over his deteriorating health in detention.
