...When you go home at night and have dinner and close your door, you are always expecting someone to come and take you to jail," says Abdel Fatah Rizq, a high-ranking Brotherhood member. "They come after midnight - at 1 o'clock, at 2 o'clock, at 3 o'clock. If 3 passes and they didn't come, you can sleep well. This is a daily experience...
