The streets of Egypt are currently locked in a state of suspense in the lead-up to the upcoming legislative elections due to take place on 1 June 2010. As ElBaradei's "Movement for Change" and the Muslim Brotherhood begin to further harmonize on the ground level, Egyptian security forces have upped their efforts to suppress public opinion. The recent extension of Egypt's Emergency Law until 2012, means that opposition activists, politicians and leaders can be easily harassed. Although the Muslim Brotherhood has been the prime target in recent times, a policy of enforced disappearance, arbitrary arrested and torture has now been extended to the majority of the supporters of government opposition groups.

Mohamed Al-Mahdi Mohamed Attia, Atef Mohamed Amer, Osama Mohamed Obeid, Saad Abu Al-Ainain Metwali, Badr Abdelaziz Mahmoud Al-Fallah, were all arrested on 20 April 2010 under orders from the Prosecutor General following a peaceful sit-in protest. They have since been placed in administrative detention, despite a Court decision for their release.

On 26 April 2010, State Security Investigative (SSI) forces, under the command of Officer Samah Heikel, carried out a warrantless search of Nasr Al-Sayed Hassan Nasr's home in Banha. Although Nasr Al-Sayed Hassan Nasr was not there at the time of the incursion, his belongings were confiscated and the SSI agents informed his family that he was requested to report to SSI headquarters in Banha. On 28 April 2010, Nasr Al-Sayed Hassan Nasr reported to the SSI station in Banha and has since disappeared.

The Egyptian Intelligence services arrested Ahmed Abdallah on 3 June 2008 and took him to the local police station where he was charged with drug trafficking. He eventually appeared in court and was acquitted, but held back on administrative orders despite two court decisions to annul his case. To date he has not been released.
