埃及穆兄會呼籲舉行“星期五烈士”大遊行

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is calling for mass rallies Friday, after the military-backed government released deposed President Hosni Mubarak from prison.

Mr. Mubarak, an ex-military commander who ruled Egypt for 29 years, was transferred Thursday to a military hospital near Cairo, where he will remain under house arrest.

The 85-year-old is awaiting trial for murder in connection with the killing of hundreds of protesters during a popular uprising that forced him from power in 2011. He has also been charged with corruption.

An Egyptian court ordered Mr. Mubarak's release this week, ruling his pre-verdict detention had exceeded legal limits.

The ruling has angered the Muslim Brotherhood, whose democratically elected leader, Mohamed Morsi, was forced from power by the military last month and remains in prison.

The Brotherhood and the so-called "Anti-Coup Alliance" have called for a "Martyr's Friday" of mass demonstrations against the military, raising fears of fresh violence.埃及軍方支持的政府釋放了被罷黜的前總統穆巴拉克之後，穆斯林兄弟會呼籲星期五舉行大規模集會活動。

穆巴拉克這位前軍事指揮官統治了埃及29年，星期四他被轉送到開羅附近一家軍隊醫院，並在那裏受到軟禁。

85歲的穆巴拉克正在等待因謀殺指控而出庭受審，這項指控和他在2011年被民衆起義趕下臺期間數百名抗議者遭到殺害有關。穆巴拉克還受到腐敗的指控。

埃及一家法院本週決定釋放穆巴拉克，認定此前對他拘禁的裁定超出了法律限制。

這項裁決激怒了穆斯林兄弟會，他們的代表、通過民選產生的領導人穆爾西上個月被軍方趕下臺，目前仍被關在獄中。

穆兄會和所謂的“反政變聯盟”已經發出呼籲，號召進行抗議軍方的“星期五烈士”大型示威活動，引發人們對可能出現更多暴力事件的擔憂。
