Egyptian police arrested 35 members and sympathizers of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood organization as they tried to attend the trial Sunday of some members of the movement, a police official said.
The trial in the city of Fayoum, southwest of Cairo, was of a group of Brotherhood members arrested in November while meeting to prepare for municipal elections set for April. The police official said the 35 were arrested Sunday as they tried to attend. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press. (AP)
