Muhammad Zery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muhammad Zery (also spelled Mohammad Al-Zery) is one of two Egyptian asylum seekers in Sweden, the other is Ahmed Agiza, that were secretly deported to Egypt from Sweden on 18 December 2001 after a request from the United States in what is believed to be a CIA-led operation. Zery fled Egypt in 1991 and arrived in Sweden in 1999. This alleged CIA operation is a "prime example" of what has been termed an extraordinary rendition, subsequently both men have reportedly been tortured in prison in Egypt which has a bad human rights record [1]. Muhammad was released from prison in October 2003.
