A Cairo court yesterday ordered the release of a man who has served his full 22-year sentence for his role in the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in October 1981. An Interior Ministry source said the authorities were studying the administrative court's ruling demanding the release of Tareq Al Zumur, a junior member of the group which organised Sadat's killing at a military parade and not one of the gunmen. But he would not say whether Zumur would be released. The Interior Ministry last year ignored a similar order from the administrative court for Zumur's release. The court had said his continued detention was a violation of his right to freedom. |
