Egypt's biggest political movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, has denounced the dissolution of parliament by the ruling military council as unlawful. Reacting to confirmation of the dissolution, the Brotherhood said that the council had no such right under the constitution. It urged Egyptians to protect their revolution. From Cairo, here's Jon Leyne.

埃及最大政治运动穆斯林兄弟组织谴责执政军事委员会解散议会的行为非法。兄弟组织确认议会解散属实后，称根据宪法委员会没有这样的权利。该组织敦促埃及人起来捍卫革命。乔恩·雷恩在开罗报道。

Just as Egyptians were coming out to vote for a new president, they received the final confirmation that their earlier votes for parliament had been annulled. The top official in parliament confirmed to the BBC he'd received an official decree from the head of the ruling military council, Field Marshal Tantawi, to say that parliament was dissolved. That interpretation has not been accepted by the largest force in parliament, the Muslim Brotherhood, setting the stage for a possible confrontation. Official media say soldiers have been ordered not to let MPs into parliament.

就在埃及人即将选举新总统之际，他们最终获悉，早先的议会选举已被取消。议会高级官员向BBC证实，他收到执政军事委员会主席坦塔维的官方指令，称已解散议会。而议会中力量最强的穆斯林兄弟组织却没有接受这个解释，这样很可能会发生对抗。官方媒体称军人接到命令，不许议员进入议会。
