Muslim Brotherhood: About the assassination of a number of Brotherhood leaders and cadres

Below is the full text of the statement issued by the Muslim Brotherhood following the killing of thirteen of it’s members and leaders earlier today.

At the time when armed groups are killing scores of Egyptian army troops in Sinai, so easily as if Sinai is completely void of any real military presence, the lackey coup authorities have perpetrated the crime of assassinating a number of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, who happen to be members of the legal, humanitarian and psychological support committee, who offer assistance to families of detained and martyred members of the group, who were martyred or detained by the criminal coup authorities.

The Muslim Brotherhood assert that the assassination of its leaders is a turning point that will have its own repercussions by way of which criminal Abd Al-Fattah Al-Sisi is initiating a new phase during which it will not be possible to control the anger of the oppressed sectors who will not accept to be killed in their own houses and in the middle of their families.

The Brotherhood would like to affirm that our martyrs, who were killed by criminal bandits affiliated with the traitor coup perpetrator, were initially detained and rounded up inside the house and then were murdered in cold blood without any investigations or indictments. In this way Egypt has been turned into a state of outlawed bandits.

While asserting its rejection of the killing and violence in Sinai and in other places, the Muslim Brotherhood is holding criminal Abd Al-Fattah Al-Sisi and his gangs the responsibility for the repercussions of these crimes.

The assassination of some of Egypt’s best men, like Abd Al-Fattah Muhammad Ibrahim, who is in charge of the committee that supports the families of the group’s detainees and martyrs, and lawyer and parliamentarian Nassir Al-Hafi, who is in charge of the legal committee within the group, and some of their other brothers will drive the situation down an extremely dangerous slope and toward a total explosion and will at the same time put the world in a position to face up to its responsibilities toward what the Egyptian state is being driven into as planned by butcher Abd Al-Fattah Al-Sisi.

Criminal Sisi has not been content with his crime of driving the country toward a black destiny and enacting fascist laws that facilitate the mass murdering of the opponent of the military coup, but has turned to assassinating the honourable and the noble inside their own homes. We would like to stress that these pure bloods will turn into a curse that will haunt the murderers.

A country in which all this injustice and oppression exist should motivate those loyal to it to take serious action in order to rid it of the tyrannical murderers who are assassinating the honourable. So, oh, pround people of Egypt, this oppression has gone far enough. Come out in rebellion and in defence of your country, yourselves and your children. This butcher is now perpetrating the biggest massacre ever against this country. Eliminate his usurping authority, destroy the citadels of his oppression and tyranny and reclaim Egypt once more. And Allah has full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.

May Allah grant mercy to the martyrs and victory to those who struggle in His Cause.

Allah is Great and all praise be to Him.
