Egypt quick round-up

Ayman Nour is cleared of his bribery charges. The forgery charges, the more serious offense, is still going on though. He is still running though in the parliamentary elections, and so are 5400 candidates, which means that there are 12 candidates per seat. Talk about competition. On the other hand, Egyptian rights and civic groups filed a court case against the electoral commission over conditions they claim will impede their ability to monitor the parliamentary elections. Good luck.
