Egypt opposition leader claims official harassment

Egypt's most prominent democracy advocate accused President Hosni Mubarak's government Saturday of posting Facebook photos of his daughter in swimsuits and at events where alcohol was served in an attempt to discredit him.

 

Mohammed ElBaradei, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former UN nuclear chief, was quoted in the independent Al-Dustour newspaper as saying the government is "waging a campaign of sheer lies" by using the photos to portray him and his family as nonbelievers - a politically damaging accusation in an increasingly conservative Muslim country.
