It is three years since the uprisings collectively known as the 'Arab Spring' claimed their biggest prize – the ousting of Hosni Mubarak who had ruled Egypt for thirty years. The previously banned Muslim Brotherhood produced the country's first ever democratically elected president. Six months later he too was deposed. The Brotherhood has since been designated as "terrorist" with its leaders thrown in jail or in exile. One of those is Yehia Hamed. He was investment minister in a government, critics say, put its own interests ahead of the economic crisis which precipitated its downfall. A new constitution has just been overwhelmingly approved by Egyptians - elections are promised within months. With the Brotherhood telling its supporters to "topple the leaders of the treacherous military coup", isn't the Brotherhood encouraging the violence it professes to abhor?
