On Thursday 26 November 2009, Dr Mohamed Gamal Heshmat (الدكتور محمد جمال حشمت), Muslim Brotherhood leader and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood Shura Council, was released after two months of arbitrary detention in Burg al-Arab prison. He was transferred from Burg al-Arab prison to the State Security headquarters in Damanhour at noon, from where he was finally discharged at 4pm.

Alkarama had previously submitted Dr Gamal Heshmat's case to the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) on 27 October 2009 along with the cases of 111 other Muslim Brotherhood leaders and supporters, arbitrarily detained since July 2009.

This brings to 26 the number of individuals released from among the 112 names submitted to the WGAD.
