Egypt: Sisi Pardons Several Prisoners including Ahmed Douma
|
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi has pardoned a  number of prisoners, including Egyptian activist Ahmed Douma, the state TV said on Saturday.
Douma was sentenced in 2019 to 15 years in prison for rioting and attacking security forces.
In delivering his verdict at the time, the judge said Douma was part of a crowd that broke into parliament and damaged part of it.
Last month, authorities also freed Egyptian rights researcher Patrick Zaki and lawyer Mohammed el-Baqer after they were pardoned by al-Sisi.
Since late 2021 Egypt has taken a number of steps which it says are aimed at addressing human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
, including amnesties for some prominent prisoners.
