The Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) has denounced the arrest of its vice president, Essam al-Erian, on Wednesday morning, calling it in a statement “a continuation of the persecution policies pursued by the coup leaders since the deposing of Mohamed Morsy.”
The party also said that “such repressive practices would not prevent it from rejecting the brutal coup or demanding the reinstatement of the legitimate president, the Shura Council and the 2012 Constitution.”
