Egypt Frees Pro-democracy Activist Imprisoned for 4 Years

Associated Press

   CAIRO, EGYPT - Egypt on Friday freed a pro-democracy activist who spent
   over four years in prison and rose to local prominence as one of the
   faces of the country's 2011 uprising, his lawyer said.

   Ramy Sayed, 31, had coordinated protests for the April 6 youth
   movement, a group that helped catalyze the Arab Spring uprising in
   Egypt that toppled autocratic President Hosni Mubarak.
