CAIRO — Police arrested 64 members of Egypt’s largest opposition movement Tuesday, the first day for registration of candidates for key local council elections, the group and police said.
The Muslim Brotherhood has accused the government of seeking to prevent it from running in the elections with a wave of recent arrests.
Brotherhood spokesman Gamal Nassar said the new arrests included some potential candidates for the April 8 local council elections. A day earlier, 43 Brotherhood members were arrested. The latest detentions bring to more than 400 the number of members arrested in the past month.
