Authorities have released an undisclosed number of people detained in the wake of anti-government protests that took place last month, Ahram Online reports. Among those released are detainees who were not involved in the protests, and children, women and elderly men who protested but were not connected to groups attempting to agitate against the government, the prosecutor-general said in a statement. Authorities have sporadically released people in groups after arresting more than 2.3k after the demonstrations on 20 September.
