The Muslim brothers are blatantly taking control of the levers of power under the cover of a popular movement. They have in different ways firmed their grip on the attorney general, ministry of justice and even the judicial process. With these levers of power and a media frenzy full of lies and blatant blasphemy they have managed to terrorize any one who dares to speak the truth or challenge their authority. The obscene and unbelievable charges put forward against my father and us two days ago has been the climax of that process The entire judicial process is being blatantly manipulated against us...ln fact it has turned into a revenge campaign by the Muslim brothers to settle scores with my father...The poisoned media campaigns against us is making extremely difficult to put together our defense team. Lawyers are scared of retribution by the media and the mobs. EFTA_R1_00092733 EFTA01777100 The detention orders leveled against us have been decided upon before any investigations took place. All sorts of lies and false information by the ministry of justice is being leaked to the media to smear us and in turn negatively impact the investigations. This in short is a huge travesty of justice. Charging my father with conspiracy to kill demonstrators punished by the death penalty among other false charges should send a clear signal to the world community that this is a vendetta by the Muslim brothers against my father and what he stood for. Dear terry; The world has to clearly understand what is going on, our voice is not heard...This is a mockery of the judicial process, We are paying a very heavy price and they are continuing to pressure us in an attempt to break us totally and destroy my father's legacy. We rely on friends like you to help spread the word out. The world has to watch and observe closely and hold the authorities to account for their flagrant abuse of the legal and judicial process. Speak out in your own way and have others do the same before its too late. 2 EFTA_R1_00092734 EFTA01777101
