Police restrict access in Egypt elections
From Yahoo! News:
ALEXANDRIA/TANTA, Egypt (Reuters) - Egyptian police restricted voting in areas contested by the opposition Muslim Brotherhood on Saturday and detained more than 800 Islamists trying to build on early success in parliamentary elections.
Thousands of riot police deployed in constituencies where the Muslim Brotherhood has a candidate, in many cases sealing off polling stations or severely limiting the number of people who could go in and vote, witnesses said.
"Security forces surrounded some of the polling stations, blocking some voters from entering," said judge Ahmed Mekki, who is in charge of an election monitoring effort by the judiciary.
Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Abdel Muezz Mohamed said 56 judges had refused to take part in the count because of flagrant violations during the day's voting. Altogether more than 11,000 judiciary personnel are supervising the process.
