In Egypt, an international human rights delegation, including former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, has been blocked from attending a trial of 40 members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is the most powerful opposition group in Egypt, but it is still considered an illegal organization.

Ramsey Clark: “It is pitiful to see a great people like the Egyptian people with a government so afraid, so afraid of its own position in power that it continuously persecutes the Muslim Brotherhood. It is highly political, obviously.”
