CAIRO — From within the confines of Egyptian jails, a group of young Muslim Brotherhood members arrested for political and criminal reasons launched an initiative Aug. 11 to resolve their stalemate with the Egyptian authorities. They issued written statements headlined “A letter from arrested young people to Muslim Brotherhood leaders.”
In their letter, they called on the current Brotherhood leaders to cede their place to those who are more competent in leading the group’s affairs, to find a quick solution to the prisoners' case, take decisive action for mediating with the Egyptian political leadership to get Brotherhood detainees released.
