More Outcries Denouncing Arrest of Khaled Hamza

Steven Brooke of The Nixon Center writes at The National Interest of his personal relations with now-imprisoned Muslim Brotherhood member Khaled Hamza (for past discussion of this, click here and here). Arguing that this arrest is especially important because “it fits into a broader pattern of strategic repression of the Muslim Brotherhood over the past few years,” Brooke sees Khaled as an important figure in an emerging trend inside the Brotherhood, “young, politically and technologically savvy members working for reform and greater cooperation with other prodemocracy forces in Egypt, as well as the group’s outreach efforts to Westerners.”
