BBC World News - HARDtalk, Yehia Hamed

Shaun Ley meets former Egyptian Minister Yehia Hamed, from the Freedom and Justice Party.

Shaun Ley speaks to former Egyptian investment Minister Yehia Hamid, from the Freedom and Justice Party. Is the Muslim Brotherhood encouraging the violence it professes to abhor?

The previously banned Muslim Brotherhood produced Egypt's first ever democratically elected president. Six months later he was deposed, with the Brotherhood subsequently designated as "terrorist" with its leaders thrown in jail or in exile. One of those is Yehia Hamid. He was investment minister in a government critics say put its own interests ahead of the economic crisis which precipitated its downfall. With the Brotherhood telling its supporters to "topple the leaders of the treacherous military coup", isn't the Brotherhood encouraging the violence it professes to abhor?
