342 Senior Muslim Brotherhood Members Released
I just received word that a prosecutor has ordered `Issam al-Din Muhammad Husain al-`Irian (alt. sp. Al-Arian), the head of the Muslim Brotherhood?s Political Committee, and Muhammad Mursi (alt. sp. Morsi), the head of the Parliamentary Committee, to be released. They will be confined to their homes, but lawyers may appeal this last provision. They were both detained May 18 and charged (Case Number 533/2006) with “belonging to an illegal organization.”
[Update, Saturday evening, Cairo time: They’ve been released.]
