Egypt's Chance for Democracy

At the end of December 2005, Dr. Ayman Nour was sentenced to five years imprisonment because he chose to run for President of Egypt, giving the Egyptian citizens a choice in candidates instead of the present one-man rule. Dr. Nour was arrested and tried for defending democracy, freedom, and political pluralism.

The West has been telling the world that democracy in the Middle East will be beneficial not only to the citizens of these Middle Eastern nations but to the nations of the world. Yet, few people are really committed to helping Dr. Nour.

Your support is needed for the birth of a true democracy in the Middle East as well as helping Dr. Nour in his struggle to bring real democracy to Egypt. The path for reforms in the region goes through his liberation. Please sign this online petition http://www.freeaymannour.org/ which is sponsored by Dr. Nour's wife, Gameela Ismail.
