| Egyptian authorities yesterday banned Ghad Party leader Ayman Nour from leaving the country to attend a meeting with the European Parliament, party officials said. Nour, who was heading to Brussels to attend a meeting of the European Parliament addressing democracy in the Middle East, said he was held at the Cairo International Airport amid tight security after being told that he has to get a permission from the prosecutor general to leave the country. |
