Ask Freedom For Mufti
Cairo June 22 The Kotla Wahdist bloc party demanded today that the Egyptian government grant full freedom to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to perform his national duty toward Palestine. The exiled Arab leader Han Amin Al Husseini is accused by the British of aiding Germany and Italy in World War I. The party said he has been a political refugee since fleeing France to Egypt and urged resuming political activity to protect Palestine. It argued that restricting his freedom would violate humanity and weaken Egypt in the Arab world. The Kotla followed a similar appeal by the Muslim Brotherhood to King Farouk.
