CAIRO-The son of the founder of Egypt's banned-yet-tolerated Muslim Brotherhood filed a lawsuit against Egyptian official TV, the author and producer of a serial on his father's biography without letting him review its script. "I have warned against screening Al-Gamaa (The Group) TV serial without allowing the family of Hassan el-Banna to review it, though some of the characters portrayed in the soap opera got a copy of the script," said Ahmed Seif el-Islam Hassan el-Banna. He claimed that the soap opera beings shown on official and some satellite TV channels tarnished the image of his father and is biased. The Brotherhood, which has been officially is banned since 1954 has slammed the as distorting the image of the group, saying that the drama is aimed at weakening the the November group in the public eye ahead of parliamentary elections. Meanwhile, some youth belonging to the Brotherhood started a campaign against the serial yesterday entitled "I am from the Brotherhood". The Brotherhood's spokesman, Essam el Eryan, who spent the better part of a decade languishing in prison because of his affiliation with the Islamist group, called the series “black propaganda” inspired by the authorities and aimed at damaging the group's prospects in the upcoming elections. Prohibited from running as a party,the Brotherhood members are only allowed to run as independents. But the group's effective social campaigns, bolstered by a general perception of inadequate Government responses to poverty and crises, have earned it immense popularity.
