VOA Persian is generally considered a reliable source for news on Iran and the Middle East.

Egyptian police have arrested 28 individuals suspected of being members of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group that is illegal in Egypt, on charges of planning to hold an unauthorized demonstration. The detainees are accused of intending to organize a protest in Cairo next Friday in support of other Muslim Brotherhood members who were arrested last month in Alexandria, Egypt. Despite being declared illegal by Egyptian authorities several decades ago, the Muslim Brotherhood is still considered the largest opposition group in Egypt, regularly supporting some candidates for parliamentary representation. The group has declared its goal to establish an Islamist government in Egypt through constitutional means.
