Provincial representatives of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood (MB) opposition group were recently summoned by police and threatened with arrest if they went through with plans to stage demonstrations calling for economic, social and political reform, MB leader Mohamed Badie said on Sunday. “This is not the business of the police," Badie said in a statement. "It's a political issue.” He went on to call for a "national dialogue" between all Egyptian political parties and movements in an effort to resolve the longstanding crises from which the country continues to suffer.
