Arabs Seek Liberty For Grand Mufti
In Cairo on June 22 twenty thousand Arabs gathered for noon prayers at Al Azhar Mosque where Ahmed El Sukary of the Muslim Brotherhood urged granting liberty to the Mufti of Jerusalem. He praised the fugitive religious leader as a great Arab reader and criticized Prime Minister Sidky Pasha for saying the Mufti should refrain from politics while in Egypt. A delegation would be sent to Abdin Palace to protect King Farouk from the Prime Minister’s remarks. The Mufti, accused by Britain of instigating Arab unrest and broadcasting anti British pro German propaganda, remains in sanctuary in Egypt.
