Egypt police arrest fugitive ex-interior minister Adly
former interior minister Habib al-Adly
Cairo - Muslimchronicle
Egyptian police on Tuesday arrested former interior minister Habib al-Adly who had been on the run to avoid serving a prison sentence for embezzlement, his lawyer told AFP.
Adly, whose iron-fisted command of the country's police helped fuel a 2011 uprising that unseated longtime dictator Hosni Mubarak, was arrested in Cairo, lawyer Essam al-Batawy said.
State television also reported Adly's arrest.
He was sentenced in April to seven years in prison along with 10 other former officials for embezzling about $122 million.
He had been a fugitive since then. He had contested his sentence which an appeals court will examine in January.
Adly had previously been acquitted of charges of responsibility for the deaths of protesters during the anti-Mubarak uprising.
The court dropped charges against Mubarak, who has since been freed, in the same trial.
Under Adly, the interior ministry was accused of practising systematic torture and the repression of dissent.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
