Lawyer: Egypt arrests opposition figure Ahmed al-Tantawi

An Egyptian appeals court upheld Monday a one-year sentence for opposition politician Ahmad al-Tantawi, who was "arrested from inside the courthouse," lawyer Nabeh Elganadi told AFP.
   Tantawi, who had hoped to run against President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in
elections last year, was found guilty of election campaign irregularities in
February.
   The court also upheld one-year sentences against 21 members of his
campaign, Elganadi said.
