On 30 June 2000, Egyptian authorities charged me and some of my colleagues with crimes allegedly connected to our administration of the Ibn Khaldun Center, and closed the Center itself the next day. After a long legal fight and 15 months in prison, the Court of Cassation, Egypt's highest civilian judicial body, cleared me of all charges on 18 March 2003. The Ibn Khaldun Center reopened on 30 June 2003. For details of the case, visit www.democracy-egypt.org.
