Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood (MB) activists fiercely slammed Fatma Youssef, an MB female dissenter over televised statements she was plotting to wreck police forces, Al Bawaba News reported on Friday. Youssef said Thursday on Egypt's Al Mehwar satellite channel she was seduced by a Turkey-based Al Sharq TV satellite broadcaster into alleging she was raped at a police station. "Someone handed me a piece of paper with an anti-police text to be read aloud during a phone call to Al Sharq channel," she said, adding the MB activists launched a hashtag campaign under the title the "Rape of Fatma". After the show, MB activists claimed the girl was a liar involved in suspicious contacts with the police forces. "Fatma was sacked from the MB group over suspicious relations with police forces," MB activists wrote on Facebook. " She connived for three MB activists to be arrested," another post read. Youssef said Al Sharq channel administration promised to facilitate her traveling to Turkey, but she backed out. MB-linked webpages claimed many young girls were raped at police stations over the past two years, accusations the Egyptian Interior Ministry repeatedly rejects. In September 2013, the MB organization was designated as terrorist by the Egyptian judiciary following a string of deadly blasts claiming hundreds of lives among security personnel and civilians since former president Mohamed Mursi was ousted in July 2013.
