Egypt's state security prosecution releases 55 pretrial detainees
CAIRO – 11 May 2025: Egypt's Supreme State Security Prosecution has ordered the release of 55 accused individuals pending investigation, two months after 50 pretrial detainees were also freed.
Since the launch of the National Dialogue –a platform gathering various political powers and community segments to discuss key political, social and economic reforms with decision makers— the Egyptian prosecution has released hundreds of pretrial detainees.
The dialogue, alongside the Presidential Pardon Committee, was launched by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in April 2022. Many people, including renowned political figures, businessmen and journalists, have also been granted presidential pardons since then.
