Charges of espionage and endangering state security follow the Muslim Brotherhood fugitives abroad

After the imprisonment or escape of most of its leaders outside Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood continues to threaten Egyptian authorities and interests by spreading rumors and provocative videos on social media and satellite channels broadcasting from foreign countries, encouraging terrorist crimes and undermining confidence in the state. This follows reports of the movement’s internal weakness and division, prompting many young Brotherhood members in prison to reconsider their positions and ask for amnesty.

Security and legal expert General Shawki Salah revealed that the Brotherhood is executing international agendas targeting the Egyptian state and its people. Its branches, present in more than 76 countries, receive orders, directions, and financial support from the international organization of the Brotherhood and collaborate with foreign intelligence agencies, according to the North Africa website.

According to the same source, General Salah confirmed that charges against these fugitives could include espionage and endangering state security, in accordance with Egyptian penal laws and the anti-terrorism law. Article 14 of the law stipulates punishment for “anyone who sought or engaged in espionage with a foreign state, or any association, organization, group, or other entity based inside or outside Egypt,” with the death penalty if the terrorist crime is committed or attempted. Article 78 of the law also outlines severe penalties for those receiving support from foreign entities to harm the state’s interests.

Maad Abdullah, a presenter on the “Al Sharq” channel, which broadcasts from Turkey and is close to the Brotherhood, confirmed that El-Gazar, residing in London, asked him to present the message to the Egyptian government via his channel.

Political leaders viewed this call as a sign of surrender by the Brotherhood, which is classified as a terrorist organization. MP Mostafa Bakry stated, “This initiative proves that the Brotherhood has reached a stage of despair, and that their project to return to power is over, having lost popular support and realizing that their revolutionary project against the regime in Egypt has failed, with almost no trust left among the public in their propositions.”

In recent years, the Brotherhood has launched several initiatives for reconciliation with the Egyptian regime, but Al-Sissi has largely ignored them, emphasizing continued security measures against members of the banned group, as they pose a threat to Egyptian national security.

Meanwhile, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi has launched a national dialogue program aimed at achieving national reconciliation, excluding the Brotherhood. Many opposition forces, including left-wing, centrist, and liberal groups, have participated in these efforts.
