The MB detainees are: Dr. Osama Nasr al-Din ( a member of MB Executive Bureau), Dr. Hussam Abu Bakr ( Head of the MB administrative office in East Cairo),  Dr. Ibrahim Mustafa, Eng. Hisham Saqr (Cairo), Ashraf Abdel-Samee, Dr. Mohamed Saad Alioua (Giza), Ali Abdel-Fattah, Dr. Issam Al-Haddad (Alexandria), Mohamed Ezzbawi, Mahmoud Al-bara (Gharbia), Al-Husseini Mohammad Al-Shami Eng. Hassan Shaalan (Dakahliya), and Islamic writer Waleed Shalabi (Al-Sharqia)
 
On this note the Muslim Brotherhood lawyers lodged an appeal against the detention order of Dr. Amir Bassam, a MB high-ranking leader in Al-Sharqia at the end of May, after being held for more than a week in Bilbeis Police Station despite the decision of his release by the Supreme State Security Prosecution. However, the hearing on the petition has not yet been determined.
 
It is worth mentioning that the State Security Services raided the headquarters of faculty members of Assiut University and arrested Dr. Bassam on the 23rd of April 2009. The State Security Prosecution overruled twice that he remained in custody on charges of supporting the Palestinians during the recent Israeli aggression on Gaza.

Dr. Bassam was one of those placed in custody in the famous Martial Court trials in which he received an acquittal after a year and a half detention with a number of other MB leaders.
