The statement said that the movement would contact a number of European non-governmental organisations (NGOs) about the 11 November demonstrations. These calls were met with sharp criticism by government officials, whether through media statements or directly in press conferences. Meanwhile, a number of media figures have openly refused the calls to protest on 11 November, accusing the Muslim Brotherhood of financing and sponsoring the movement. The North Benha Prosecution decided on Wednesday to arrest 17 Brotherhood-affiliated members over charges of inciting people to protest on 11 November protests. On a different note, El Hadidi’s husband, ONTV talk show presenter Amr Adib, also expressed his concerns over the calls for 11 November.
