Egypt frees 700 activists
Egypt has released from prison in recent days 700 members of the Al Gamaa Al Islamiya, a group that fought the government in the 1990s but which has since renounced violence, a newspaper reported yesterday. The daily Al Masry Al Youm said the prisoners had been serving jail sentences between five and 10 years. It did not say how much time they had served. Posted by: Fred 2004-11-15 |
