Al Amal Islamic Society has written to two ministries demanding an explanation for the search conducted at its premises for weapons.
“We are a political society and aware of our responsibilities. The search of our building has affected our image. We need clarifications and have sent letters to the Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs and Ministry of Interior,” the society’s head of research and activities, Fahmi Abdulsaheb Ahmed, told the Tribune.
On December 30 security forces searched the society headquarters in Al Qurraya.
The Acting General Director of the criminal investigation department had said in a statement that the Public Prosecution had ordered the search after one of those arrested in connection with unruly incidents claimed that the stolen weapon was hidden in the society building. No weapons were found during the search.
“If we do not receive an explanation then we will take legal action against the authorities,’ Ahmed said.
The society is supporting 18 people it claims were detained in connection with rioting. Ahmed said lawyers would take up the case of those detained.
“Everyone should be dealt with fairly and should have access to legal assistance. A legal team from our society is handling the detainees’ case,” he said.
The society recently held a meeting with families of the detainees and activists from the National Democratic Action Society and the Islamic National Accord and discussed the case.
