The group's media spokesmen stressed that these claims were simply hearsay and did not deserve any response adding that the group would not be drawn into this discussion describing it as groundless.

Erian who was arrested in early February along with other highly ranking leaders from the group remained detained for 2 months. In a statement to Ikhwanweb he maintained that he and his colleagues appreciated and acknowledged the efforts of the defense team who worked hard for their release adding that "Freedom is a blessing which no innocent individual should be deprived of". Erian extended his thanks to all who worked for their freedom in particular, Mahmoud Alsakka, Ahmed Abu Baraka, Mohammed Touson and Abdul Monem Abdul Maqsud. He ended his words hoping that tyranny, oppression, suppression and injustice would come to an end and that all human rights be respected without violation and called for the release of all the other MB who were currently held indefinitely in custody
