Egypt pardons 54 prisoners from Sinai after tribal leaders’ appeal

Footage shows the release of 54 prisoners from the Sinai Peninsula in the city of Arish following a presidential pardon.

A statement from the presidency explained that the decision was made in response to appeals from tribal leaders in Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid in northern Sinai. However, no details were provided about the prisoners or the nature of their sentences.

According to international human rights organisations, Egypt holds an estimated 60,000 political prisoners, many of whom are reportedly subjected to systematic torture and denied medical care.
