President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has issued a decree to pardon as many as 100 young detainees, including 16 girls, held over violating the protest law on the occasion of the Greater Bairam.
Other prisoners will be released given their health condition or for humanitarian reasons, sources at the presidency said Wednesday.
The young inmates will be released as part of an initiative declared by Sisi during his meeting with young reporters in December to set free groups of detained youth, the sources said.
Sisi directed the interior minister to release the young detainees earlier today.
