The Egyptian authorities have released a new group of 30 pretrial detainees pending investigation, members of the Presidential Pardon Committee said on Tuesday.
The committee asserted that it would continue its work to release more prisoners and reintegrate them into society.
It also noted that coordination is underway with various state bodies, topped by Prosecution and the Interior Ministry, to release prisoners.
Since its formation, the committee announced the release of hundreds of prisoners detained over various cases, which comes in line with the national dialogue called for by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
MP Tarek El Khouli, a member of the Presidential Pardon Committee, reported the news on his Facebook page along with photos of the released detainees.
The committee affirmed earlier that it is looking into all the cases and excluding those linked to “acts of violence.”
Separately, Sisi tasked on April 26 the Youth National Conference with coordinating with political parties, movements, and youth groups to hold political dialogue. All political forces were invited, except for the Muslim Brotherhood.
