Dr. Nour was a runner-up in the last presidential election of Egypt. He was arrested in January 2006 accused of fraud relating to documents on the establishment of his party. He was consequently sentenced to five years in jail.
It is obvious to everyone that the charges are completely politically motivated and there is no justice in Egypt. Dr. Nour received about 7.8% of all votes, which in itself is significant considering how long president Mubarak has been in power.
Dr. Nour recently wrote a letter from the prison. This letter can be found in English in the web site: freeaymannour. I recommend all of us to go to that web site in order to show our support to a courageous individual in a tyrannical system.
