Ikhwanweb :: The Muslim Brotherhood Official English Website

Dr Gamal Heshmat Muslim brotherhood leader is currently in convalescence after a few health setbacks. The former MP was moved to Borg el Arab Prison's hospital where he remained detained following crucial pain in his wrist which proved to be broken after he fell and slipped within the prison's premises.

In an unfortunate bit of luck he was also diagnosed with hemorrhoids after suffering much pain. His wife revealed that she was surprised to find her husband in the hospital but claims that he's well on the way of recovery since the proper care and medication was given to him by the prison's administration.

The Criminal Court in Cairo had issued earlier release orders to Dr Gamal, and 8 other members from the Beheira governorate after ruling in their favour the appeals which were submitted by defense lawyers challenging State Security which defied former release orders. The orders have not as yet been implemented.
