Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Vows New Protests



Egypt: Morsi Loyalists Vow To Keep Up 'Peaceful' Protest -- BBC

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has pledged to continue its "peaceful" resistance to the army's removal of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last week.

Supporters demanding Mr Morsi's reinstatement have been staging mass protests in Cairo near a barracks where he is believed to be held.

The Muslim Brotherhood statement comes a day after warrants were issued for the arrest of other senior figures.

The UN secretary-general has voiced concern at the arrests and detentions.

Ban Ki-moon "made clear that there is no place for retribution or for the exclusion of any major party or community in Egypt," in a telephone call with Egypt's Foreign Minister Kamel Amr on Thursday.

On Monday, more than 50 Morsi loyalists were killed in clashes with the army.
