Egypt’s parliament opened today for the first time since a historic free election put the Muslim Brotherhood in a leadership role after years of repression under deposed former president Hosni Mubarak. In the recent elections, the once-banned Brotherhood won 47 percent of the seats in the lower house of parliament. The Islamist Nur party won an additional 29 percent of the seats. The new parliament is meeting today just two days ahead of the first anniversary of the Jan. 25 protests in Tahrir Square that sparked the Egyptian revolution.
