Khalid Abdel Nasser
Khalid Abdel Nasser (
.Biography
Nasser was born in 1949.
Nasser's public profile became pronounced in his early adulthood on account of his often troubled relationship with Egyptian president
In later years, Nasser became a vocal critic of Sadat, and his presidential successor, Hosni Mubarak, both of whose policies had diverged significantly from those of Gamal Abdel Nasser. In 1988, he was accused of being part of a secret leftist organization, Egypt Revolution ("Thawret Misr,") a Nasserist group that violently opposed the 1979 Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel.[4] The Mubarak government sought the death penalty in a case which accused Nasser of trying to overthrow the Egyptian government, and of involvement in a spate of assassinations and bombings. The case eventually became a test of strength between the judiciary and the executive when judges threw out much of the case, accusing police and prosecutors of collusion in torturing the defendants.[5]
The case also created anger among many Egyptians who sympathized with Nasser because of the general anti-Israeli sentiment at the time, the fact that he was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, a popular figure in the country, and reports that the evidence was provided by American intelligence. Nasser had escaped to Yugoslavia during the trial, but was acquitted anyway.[6]
