The Egyptian government announced the arrest of 37 members of an illegal Muslim group. These individuals are accused of participating in a bloody conspiracy in 1990 aimed at overthrowing the Egyptian government. On Thursday, Egyptian officials stated that the arrests were primarily made in Cairo over the past week. The prosecutor issued a temporary detention order for these individuals, which will last for 15 days to continue ongoing investigations. The recent arrests followed the detention of 23 suspects linked to the illegal group Jama'at al-Islamiyya. The accused are alleged to have contributed to promoting group beliefs through participation in meetings and preparing statements that incite violence. In 1997, this organization rejected the use of violent operations to advance its views, yet some of its members orchestrated an attack in the southern city of Luxor, resulting in the deaths of 58 tourists and four Egyptians.
