Egypte : Un membre du 6 avril « a disparu » annonce le mouvement, qui accuse les forces de police | Mada Masr

The April 6 Youth Movement stated on Sunday that one of their members, Mohamed Attia, disappeared during a visit to family members in the northeastern Cairo neighborhood of Nasr City.

According to a statement by the group, Attia was last seen on Thursday, and could not be found in any hospital or police station.

Group member Sayed al-Banna stated that if Attia was arrested then it would qualify as a kidnap, since he hadn’t been transferred to prosecution. According to the privately owned Al-Masry Al-Youm, the April 6 Youth Movement’s legal committee has filed a complaint to the General Prosecutor blaming the state’s security apparatus in case Attia’s is endangered.

April 6 Youth Movement General Coordinator Amr Aly told Mada Masr that Attia was arrested in a café in Nasr City, detained at a police station and will be sent to State Security prosecution the next day. “But when lawyers headed to the police station, officers denied having arrested him in the first place,” Aly explained.

“Our biggest fear is that when Attia surfaces again his name will be on the papers of some case that he has nothing to do with,” explains the group’s spokesperson. He added that Attia is bearded and, in the light of the current political situation, he could potentially be the victim of a “fake” case.

In a similar situation, the movement blamed the murder of member Khaled al-Rashidy on police forces during the alleged security raid that took place on Wednesday.

In a Facebook statement on Thursday morning, the April 6 Youth Movement said that its member Khaled al-Rashidy was shot in the head and killed during a security raid in Nahya, Giza the night before. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health denied receiving reports of any deaths, while the Ministry of Interior described the incident as “street clashes” that resulted in the death of two Muslim Brotherhood members.

Dozens of protesters took to the Autostrad in Nasr City early on Friday afternoon, joining the “Last Chance” protest against President Mohamed Morsy and his administration.

In the late afternoon, protesters on Nasr Street distributed petitions to authorize Defense Minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to oust Morsy and assume power of the country. They said the petitions would be notarized.
The demonstrators aised Egyptian flags and photographs of Sisi and late President Mohamed Anwar al-Sadat. They chanted, “Down with the supreme guide rule,” and "The people want the army again.”
(...)
More than 30 political parties and groups had called for today’s protest, which demands military intervention against the “brotherhoodization” of the state and to stop what they allege are “Islamist militias” that intimidate the people.
Military veterans, members of the Independence Coalition, the Maspero Youth Union, the Silent Majority movement and the Egypt Above All coalition were in attendance.
Controversial talk show host Tawfiq Okasha, former Supreme Constitutional Court Vice-President Tahani al-Gebali and writer Mostafa Bakry also said they would take part.
(...)
The Revolutionary Forces Coalition, the Second Revolution of Anger movement, the Maspero Youth Union and the popular movement for the independence of Al-Azhar also called on the people to unite to achieve the demands of the revolution, and fight against the Brotherhood’s attempts to take charge of security with Islamist militias.
