MB students carrying banners protest and condemn the dismissal and suppression of freedoms of expression at Egyptian universities demanding investigations. The Association’s report, (a copy of which was obtained by Ikhwanweb), condemned the referral of MB students to investigation with flimsy excuses in an effort to prevent them from running for the students’ union elections. Names were also eliminated from the initial nominees' lists. The Association witnessed the lack of democracy in a number of Egyptian universities on the opening of doors for the submitting of nomination papers. “The vast majority of the Brotherhood students were unable to withdraw their nomination papers form the Youth Welfare Offices in various faculties at the Cairo University, the report said.
Similar measures were practiced on the Muslim Brotherhood students from the Ain Shams, Helwan, Alexandria, Suez, Tanta, Zagazig, Fayoum and Mansoura universities, where security forces violated freedom of rights. In some instances fights broke out between the MB students, and other nominees students as feelings of suppression and unjust began to rise and bias was felt due to the irrational behaviour of some officials and University Deans including Dr Ahmed Hendy from the Alexandrian Faculty of law where he expressed that the MB students were point blank "unwelcome".
