The Prosecution of the State Security, on 15 of Oct., decided to bail Dr. Essam el-Eriaan, a leading figure in the Moslem Brotherhood, Dr. Helmy el-Gazar, Nader Twfiq, and Muhammad Talat.

Abdel Monam Abdel Maqsod, a lawyer, said that el-Eriaan is released on bail of 2000 pounds, 1000 for el-Gazar and Talat, and 500 pounds for Twfiq.

The Egyptian police arrested el-Eriaan on 6th of May and referred him to the Prosecution of the State Security. He and the others were charged with being members of the Moslem Brotherhood.  

A detention campaign of the Moslem Brotherhood’s members hit all governorates as a result of many nationwide demonstrations arranged by the movement demanding political and constitutional reform, called by some experts "the uprising for reform and change". Three thousands of Moslem Brotherhood’s members were detained, subsequently. Two thousands of them were released, and one thousand persons were referred to the Prosecution of the State Security and summery prosecutions then got released. Meanwhile, six of them are still in jail.
