The International Police Organization (Interpol) removed the head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, Dr Yusuf Al Qaradawi, from the wanted list after it found that the alleged charges against him by the Egyptian regime were fabricated, Arab Organization for Human Rights (AOHR) in Britain said in a statement.
A search for Al Qaradawi on Interpol website returned with no results.
AOHR said in the statement that after many correspondence and discussions the Interpol removed Al Qaradawi’s name as they became more aware of what is happening in Egypt.
Al Qaradawi is well respected scholar and is based in Doha, Qatar.
Earlier leading Muslim scholars from Turkey had published a statement in support of Al Qaradawi.
"Yusuf Al Qaradawi and other scholars like him are the honour and the conscience of this Ummah," the statement added.
The signature included those by scholars Ahmet Agirakca, Yusuf Ziya Kavakci, Ramazan Kayan, Nureddin Yildiz, Ahmet Tasgetiren and Ali Riza Demircan.
