Middle EastEgypt police arrest Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Gehad el-Haddad

CAIRO: The Egyptian police on Tuesday took into custody Gehad el-Haddad, spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood, as part of the army-installed government’s crackdown against the once country’s biggest Islamist group since President Mohamed Morsi’s ouster in July.

Haddad, who had served as chief of staff of the Muslim Brotherhood’s deputy general guide Khairat al-Shater, was detained with two other party’s officials in an apartment in Cairo.

Earlier in the day, an Egyptian court ordered to freeze the funds of Muslim Brotherhood top leaders over charges of inciting violence and killings.

The court ordered sanctions against Muslim Brotherhood’s supreme leader Mohamed Badie, his two deputies Khairat al-Shater and Rashad Bayoumi, the group’s former guide Mohamed Mahdi Akef, the chief of the MB’s Freedom and Justice party Mohamed Saad al-Katatni and others.
