Muslim Brotherhood member Magdī ‘Āshūr found his way to the Egyptian Parliament in the recent elections. The result, however, does not seem to please the outlawed group, which had decided to boycott the elections due to their alleged unfairness and falsification committed by the regime against the Muslim brothers.

Rumors have circulated about the disappearance of Magdī ‘Āshūr and his alleged compliance with the government. Jamāl Nassār, the political consultant of the Brotherhood, refused announcing any measures against ‘Āshūr before discussing the issue with him. ‘Āshūr seems however out of the reach of the Brotherhood.
