From AFP:

Security forces on Monday arrested 39 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the main opposition group in Egypt, while they were on holiday in the Nile Delta, a security official said.
“Thirty-nine Muslim Brothers were arrested while on holiday in Kafr Al-Sheikh,” the official told AFP, requesting anonymity.
The Muslim Brotherhood website said three of those arrested were local leaders of the group.
The men are accused of propagating the Brothers’ ideology after being found in possession of Islamist literature which is banned in Egypt, the official said.
Dozens of Islamists were rounded up in the same area earlier this month during a by-election. The vote was won by the ruling National Democratic Party.

Muhammad el-Nahass, left-wing muralist and community activist in El-Burullus:

In the Friday prayers following the uprising, the salafis came out strongly against the intifada. The preachers in their mosques, and we have many, said strikes and demonstrations against the ruler were haram. The people (worshipers) did not stay silent. They yelled back at the preachers, and at least in one occasion they assaulted a sheikh in a mosque.

In other news related El-Burullus, the last four detainees from the town in the pigs’ custody have been finally released. Mabrouk. Let’s not forget our brothers in Mahalla however.

From Zeinobia’s blog re El-Burullus uprising:

This uprising happens after two months exactly from Al Mahalla uprising in April. This scares the regime that the other Governates and cities began to imitate what happened in Al Mahalla and Al Burullus then it will be a very big problem threatening the existence of the regime and its security.
