The Muslim Brotherhood called on its supporters in Egypt and other countries Thursday to designate Friday as a day of solidarity with other Arabs who have been protesting against their regimes.
The group denounced the brutal actions of the regimes in Syria, Libya and Yemen, calling for the punishment of the perpetrators.
“We call on all people to refuse this violence, in support of all Arab people,” said official Brotherhood spokesperson Mahmoud Hussein.
Libya, Yemen and Syria have been witnessing an unprecedented wave of protests demanding fall of their regimes during what has been dubbed the Arab Spring, a movement that has already overthrown the regimes of Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Tunisia’s Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
Protests in Libya and Yemen have led to armed disputes between forces loyal to the existing governments and rebels, while Syria has deployed its military to several cities to quell unrest.
