None of those pledges have been fulfilled. The trial of at least 16 U.S. citizens and 27 other people is due to begin on Sunday.</p> <p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/prosecution-of-americans-tests-us-egypt-alliance/2012/02/24/gIQAVwVfYR_story.html" target="_blank">Link to story »</a></p> <p><em>Read more like this:</em></p> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/02/24/139909/egypt-trial-threatens-future-of.html" target="blank">Egypt Trial Threatens Future of US Pro-Democracy NGOs»</a></li> </ul> http://www.ndi.org/node/18647#comments NDI in the News Egypt Middle East and North Africa Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:42:31 +0000 fgalleto 18647 at http://www.ndi.org http://www.ndi.org/node/18647
