Ayman Noor released on bail.
Egyptian opposition leader Ayman Nur, seen by some as a symbol of the movement for democratic reform, was freed on bail after six weeks in detention, Attorney General Maher Abdel Wahed told reporters.
UPDATE:
Ayman Noor refused to be released on bail. His lawyer said that Noor considers his case to be politically motivated and he will not accept to pay “a price for his freedom”. Source: Al Arabiyah (Arabic)
hat tip
Ayman is anti-American (or at least was).
Even Al-Jaz is hinting that America should get some credit:
His detention had caused diplomatic tension with Washington, which had also called for his release. International human rights groups have called on Egypt to release Nur, saying his detention is politically motivated. The prosecutor general has denied this. hat tip
