The Muslim Brotherhood officially announced that the deputy to the movement's leader, Mahmoud Ezzat, will temporarily serve as the organization's spiritual leader. The announcement followed the arrest of the movement's leader Mohammed Badia.
Ezzat, a doctor by profession, was born in Cairo in 1944. He was arrested several times by Egyptian authorities, including once when protesting against Cast Lead in 2008. He was elected to be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's guidance in 1981. (Roi Kais)
