Egypt's Presidential Pardon Committee has released 30 pre-trial detainees pending investigation on Wednesday. The Committee expressed its gratitude to the Egyptian Public Prosecution and Ministry of Interior for their efforts in this matter, a statement read. Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi reactivated the committee in April 2022 when he called for "national dialogue" on various political, economic, and society-related issues. The Committee receives appeals from families of political activists and party members for the release of some figures. The Presidential Pardon Committee indicated it was working in full force, vowing to release more detainees. It asserted its keenness on the social integration of the released detainees, reported Middle East News Agency. The Committee has stressed that it refuses the release of any prisoner who poses a threat. Member of the Committee Tarek El-Khouly explained in previous statements that there were two criteria to release any detainee - not being affiliated to any terrorist organization nor involved in acts of violence.
