The Egyptian prosecutor ordered the release of 68 children detained by the Egyptian authorities for their participation in the demonstrations that took place in various Egyptian towns and cities in recent days.
In a statement on the release of the children, it was indicated that the Attorney General’s decision was made after “committing with their guardians to protect and care for them and not allow them to commit such acts in the future, and not to expose them to danger again.
Some Egyptian villages have witnessed limited meetings of protesters against President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in recent days.
The Egyptian Prosecutor’s Office ordered the arrest of about 400 people who were arrested in connection with the calls to demonstrate, according to human rights sources.
On Sunday, Sisi said he is “betting on the conscience of the Egyptians” to confront what he called “plans and attempts to destroy the state, suspicions and intimidation” carried out by anonymous parties.
This statement came on the sidelines of the Egyptian president’s inauguration of development projects east of the capital, Cairo.
Al-Sisi warned against “deception attempts” that occurred in response to his government’s attempts to “restore stability and security” in the country.
The Egyptian contractor and opposition artist, Mohamed Ali, had renewed his call to demonstrate against the Sisi regime.
Ali, who lives in Spain, called on Egyptians to come out to demonstrate on September 20 against what he said was “an economic crisis in the country, the demolition of houses and the inability to address the crisis of the Great Renaissance Dam. in Ethiopia. “
Last Friday there was a security status alert in Cairo and some Egyptian governorates, after Ali, who recently submitted an asylum application to Spain, called on citizens to demonstrate.
Over the past few days, the country witnessed limited nighttime demonstrations in various villages calling for Sisi to leave the government.
Social media sites and opposition television channels, broadcasting from Turkey, have posted video clips in recent days showing nighttime demonstrations involving dozens from some villages and provinces. The BBC has not confirmed the authenticity of these photos.
