Muslim Brotherhood: Committed to Peaceful, Popular Resistance and Democratic Transformation

The junta-appointed regime's Interior Ministry and media machine continue to lay charges and throw allegations about bombing incidents and assassinations, mostly against the Muslim Brotherhood, merely to justify their own coup regime's horrific crimes, barbaric violence and brutal torture, and to distract the Egyptian people from the severe crises they suffer daily due to the illegitimate putschist regime's colossal failures on all fronts.

The Muslim Brotherhood has stated, affirmed and reaffirmed that it rejects all forms of violence and bloodshed, as well as its strong condemnation for all perpetrators of violence, whoever they are. The group has also affirmed its total commitment to the peaceful approach in ongoing revolutionary popular resistance, and reaffirmed that the putschist interior minister's allegation is completely false, totally unfounded.

We demand an independent international investigation to protect detainees from persecution, torture, absurd restrictions and extreme ill-treatment used by coup authorities to force them to sign false confessions to crimes of which they are truly innocent. The horrific killing of the Italian student Giulio Regeni is a witness to that.
