Why was he going to serve a jail term in the first place?
And yes, WALEG, I did expect an article about the Sixth of October.
And I would like to congratulate Egypt and Syria for a great victory. Syria and Egypt have always stood together in the old days as allies; it's so sad to see how things have changed today... ):
