Tagammu leaders swept up in Sadat's September 1981 crackdown

Tagammu's open criticism of Sadat — over the peace with Israel and economic liberalization — drew his fury, and its leaders were among the roughly 1,500 dissidents across the spectrum detained in the mass arrests of September 1981, weeks before Sadat's assassination. Under Mubarak the party settled into the role of tolerated "loyal opposition."
