穆尔西的支持者坚守抗议营地

Supporters of ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi are defiantly remaining at their protest camps in Cairo, despite days of warnings that the government would soon move on the sites.

Large crowds of pro-Morsi protesters were at the camps Monday night, chanting, waving flags and holding up signs of the man they say should be reinstated as president.

Saba Mahmood, associate professor of anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley, told VOA ((English to Africa)) the interim government has not broken up the camps because the resulting bloodshed would be a "very serious political cost."

But she says Mr. Morsi\'s Muslim Brotherhood is facing bigger stakes than getting him back in office, after the arrests of other key members of the group and moves to freeze assets it uses for political work and providing services to the community.

星期一晚上，大批支持穆尔西的抗议者挥舞旗帜，并高举写有穆尔西名字的标语牌，要求恢复他的总统职位。

美国加州大学伯克利分校的人类学副教授马赫穆德对美国之音说，由于清场带来的流血将导致非常严重的政治后果，埃及临时政府还没有采取行动。

但马赫穆德说，穆尔西的穆斯林兄弟会面临着比争取他官复原职更大的挑战，此前穆兄会的主要成员被逮捕，而且当局冻结了该组织用于政治活动及社区服务的资产。
