Liberation Rally
The Liberation Rally (Arabic: هيئة التحرير, romanized: Hayʾa at-Taḥrīr) was a short-lived political organization created after the Egyptian revolution of 1952 to organize popular support for the government.
Formed around a month after all other parties were outlawed, it supported pan-Arabism, Arab socialism, and British withdrawal from the Suez Canal. The Rally was dissolved later in the 1950s and replaced by the National Union.
