Brotherhood’s leaders left supporters in Rabaa square: Expert

Mahmoud underlined that the Brotherhood’s leaders launched incitement propaganda against the state institutions, including the military and security authorities, and justified their propaganda as legitimate Jihad.

However, he added, the group’s leaders backed down and left their supporters in the square to face the consequences of their inciting propaganda aiming to achieve the Brotherhood’s political ambitions, while they travelled to Qatar and Turkey.

Regarding the Brotherhood’s claims of over the violations committed by security forces during dispersal, Mahmoud said that such claims are a part of their smear campaign to embarrass the Egyptian authorities, while ignoring their crimes of inciting violence, murder and torture of whoever criticized or opposed them.
