The United States has called on the Egyptian military to avoid politically motivated arrests, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns said on Monday in Cairo.
Burns called on the military to refrain from politically motivated arrests, after a crackdown on the Brotherhood included arrest orders against several leaders. Morsy himself has been in detention at an undisclosed location since he was deposed.
“If representatives of some of the largest parties in Egypt are detained or excluded, how are dialogue and participation possible?” Burns asked. He also urged those opposed to Mursi’s ouster to participate in the political process peacefully.
Burns also stressed that the U.S. would not take sides in Egypt’s upheaval.
