Opposition leader walks free

EGYPTIAN Opposition leader Ayman Nur was freed today after six weeks in jail that strained Cairo's relations with Washington and turned the politician into a symbol of the movement for democratic reform.
Mr Nur walked free from the central police station in Cairo, where he had been transferred from the Tura prison after Attorney General Maher Abdel Wahed ordered his release on bail.
Mr Nur, who heads the Ghad (Tomorrow) party, walked with his relatives and supporters from the police station to the nearby Bab al-Sharia neighbourhood, a constituency he represents in parliament and where he received a hero's welcome.
"We love you, president," chanted dozens of his supporters.
Mr Nur refused to don his habitual jacket upon his release and symbolically undertook his freedom march still wearing his white prison suit.
In the first issue of his party's weekly newspaper, which is also called Al-Ghad and hit the newsstands on Wednesday, Mr Nur announced his intention to run in this year's presidential elections.
Egypt's attorney general had ordered Mr Nur's release on bail earlier in the day, but Mr Nur initially refused to pay anything, arguing his detention was politically-motivated.
"At first he refused to pay anything, because he is a political detainee. But we advised to pay the bail and he has accepted," Mr Nur's lawyer Amir Salem said.
Ayman Nur was detained on January 29 on charges of "falsifying official documents".
"The release was ordered because there is no longer any reason for his preventive detention," Mr Abdel Wahed said, adding that a similar order was issued for five of his supporters detained for the same reasons.
"The preventive detention had been ordered in order to allow for an investigation to be carried out in the utmost secrecy and ensure that no evidence was concealed."
Mr Nur's 45-day preventive detention period was due to expire in two days, but the official MENA news agency suggested the release was moved forward after a foreign parliamentary delegation in Cairo planned to mention the jailed politician's case.
"The Euro-Mediterranean parliamentary assembly's committee on policy, security and human rights accepted to remove a clause demanding the Egyptian authorities reconsider the imprisonment of Ayman Nur in its draft statement on the progress of human rights and democracy in Mediterranean countries," the agency said.
Mr Nur was arrested by security services just days after he met visiting former American secretary of state Madeleine Albright, who heads a US body to promote democracy.
His arrest coincided with a wave of political changes in the Middle East, manifested in Egypt by growing calls for reform and by opposition to President Hosni Mubarak.
Mr Nur's Al-Ghad party was created in October 2004, only the third time the Egyptian state allowed the creation of a new political party.
The wealthy 40-year-old lawyer is now seen by some as the symbol of the young guard and reform movement in Egypt, and by others as an opportunist with no genuine commitment to democratic values.
His imprisonment took on a new dimension when US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chided Egypt over the move and raised the issue during a visit to Washington by Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit.
مواجهة مصرية - أوروبية حول اعتقال رئيس حزب الغد
القاهرة: أيمن نور خارج السجن بكفالة رفضها قبل أن يدفعها أنصاره
حال عضو البرلمان المصري المعارض زعيم حزب الغد الدكتور ايمن نور لساعات قليلة دون الافراج عنه الذي اعلنه النائب العام المستشار ماهر عبدالواحد، بعد ان رفض دفع الكفالة المالية مقابل خروجه من السجن.
وقد قام اعضاء الحزب في وقت لاحق بدفع الكفالة ليخرج نور من السجن محمولاً على اكتافهم امام مديرية امن القاهرة، ثم توجهوا به الى مقر دائرته الانتخابية في ضاحية باب الشعرية (شرق القاهرة).
وكان المستشار عبدالواحد عقد مؤتمراً صحفياً مقتضباً ظهر امس، اعلن خلاله خبر الافراج عن نور مع المتهمين الخمسة الآخرين المعتقلين معه بكفالة مالية قدرها عشرة آلاف جنيه لكل منهم، واشار النائب العام ان قرار الافراج جاء بعد ان رأت النيابة انتهاء مبررات الحبس الاحتياطي، مؤكدا ان النيابة اوشكت على الانتهاء من التحقيقات واتخاذ قرار بالتصرف فيها، خلال الايام الماضية.
ظل مرتدياً ملابس السجن بعد خروجه
حرص ايمن نور على عدم خلع ملابس السجن البيضاء منذ خروجه من محبسه، حتى مروره مع المسيرة التي صاحبته حتى مقر دائرته الانتخابية، وظل يخطب في انصاره وهو يرتدي ملابس السجن ويقول: ان هذه الملابس شرف لي ولا تعد اهانة لي.
واكد عزمه على خوض الانتخابات الرئاسية، وانه سيعلن برنامجه في مؤتمر صحفي الاربعاء المقبل، فيما يعقد مؤتمرا ظهر اليوم للكشف عن الابعاد الحقيقية لقضيته.
