Egypt Frees 77 Muslim Brotherhood Members
2005-05-29
Dozens of students arrested in a government crackdown on protests organized by the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood were freed Saturday after they were ordered released in time for university exams, police said. The 77 students had been arrested in recent weeks as part of a government crackdown on demonstrations sparked by a wave of pro-reform protests by the powerful group. There was no immediate confirmation from the Brotherhood. More than 800 Brotherhood members where detained this month in connection with anti-government protests planned ahead of last Wednesday's nationwide referendum which has paved the way for Egypt's first multicandidate presidential elections.
