In total, the authorities had arrested about 266 members of Ikhwan Al-Muslimin during the last 10 days ahead the national election staged on November 28th, 2010.
Hussein Ibrahim told AFP that they were detained after distributing campaign posters citing Islamic phrase “Allahu Akbar...!” (Allah is great...!).
The surrounding security official alone called the slogan “Allahu Akbar” a violation of the electoral law.
