Twenty-two members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood organization will be released in Egypt according to a local police report Sunday quoted by the Associated Press.
The organization calls for the establishment of a worldwide Caliphate and all Muslim governments to be run by Sharia (Islamic religious) law. The secular Egyptian government often cracks down on the group, whose members hold 88 seats in the lower parliament as independents; the 22 members in question had not yet been released by Sunday evening despite police orders to free them.
