12 Muslim Brotherhood members arrested in Al-Buhira

On 26 September 2009, the following 12 people were arrested by State Security forces in Al-Buhira:

1. Mohamed Gamal Ahmed Heshmat (Assistant Professor, Institute of Medicine of the Alexandria University)
2. Mohamed Mohsen Ibrahim Swaidan (retired)

The initial message he relayed through the Iraqi family of another prisoner was that he was fine and that he had been arrested by U.S.

Four day ago, the prisoners began a hunger strike to put pressure on the Libyan authorities to alleviate their suffering, and in protest against the decision of amnesty issued by the Libyan authorities that gives the prisoners general rights. The order came on the fortieth anniversary of the Libyan revolution, at the beginning of this month. Nevertheless, the purpose of the order has not been upheld.
