Ayman Aly
Ayman Sayed Ahmed Aly (born 29 October 1966 in Zarkah-Demiate, Egypt) was the vice chairman and general secretary of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE), the umbrella group of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe.[1] He was an advisor of the ousted president Muhammad Morsi, specializing in the affairs of Egyptian Expatriates. He was a senior member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Guidance Bureau, an official representative of Mohammed Mursi and advisor for Egyptian expatriates.[2][3][4][5]
Ayman Aly and Ibrahim El-Zayat transferred money on behalf of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, a fundamentalist organization, to an Albanian charity named Taibah in order to carry out fundamentalist Islamic activities in Europe.[6] The Bosnian branch of Taibah was designated as a terrorist entity by both the United Nations and the United States in 2004.[7] At the time of the transfer being supporter or member of a foreign terrorist organization was not illegal in Germany, therefore neither of them were charged.[6]
In 2007 Ayman Aly and several other members of the Muslim Brotherhood, including the former vice chief of executive bureau in Shargeya, Hajj Abdel Aziz Abd El- Qader, were arrested by the Central Security Forces in order to prevent them from participating in the Shura council.[8]
Since December 2013 Ayman Aly and four other members of Mursi’s administration are held in captivity at the al-Aqrab unit in Tora Prison in Cairo. They face charges inter alia of being part of an illegal organization and distributing incorrect information that threatens national security.[9] Ayman Aly and hundreds of other detainees went on a hunger strike at the prison to protest what they say are harsh treatment and conditions as well as a ban on personal visits.[10][9]
