The head of International Union of Muslim Scholars Yusuf Al-Qaradawi stressed yesterday that he has “never killed anyone or incited anyone to kill” and so shouldn’t be named on Interpol’s wanted lists.
Interpol issued a high level alert in a bulletin seeking the arrest of Al-Qaradawi on Friday.
It stated that the Qatar-based sheikh is wanted in Egypt on accusations of incitement, assistance to commit premeditated murder, facilitating a prison escape, and involvement in arson, vandalism, and theft.
“There are those who killed thousands of innocent people at Republican Guard headquarters [in Cairo] and at Rabaa and Nahda squares without any consideration for justice or law,” Al-Qaradawi said.
According to the Interpol’s website, Al-Qaradawi is “wanted by the judicial authorities of Egypt for prosecution/to serve a sentence”. Photos of the 88-year-old have been published on Interpol’s website.
According to the notice, the Egyptian charges against Qaradawi are: “agreement, incitement and assistance to commit intentional murder, helping the prisoners to escape, arson, vandalism and theft”. The charges were published “as provided by” Egypt, the requesting entity.
The Red Notice asks those who have any information about Al-Qaradawi to contact the national or local police in his/her area
