href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DLuQqpA4JrA\">watch, runtime: 10:52<\/a>). The SIS accused the human rights organization of acting politically.<\/p>\n<p><b>No need to panic over fuel prices: <\/b>El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib phoned the Oil Ministry spokesman Hamdi Abdel Aziz to have him reassure apparently panicking citizens that fuel prices won\u2019t necessarily increase today (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wu3q_qLKLVc\">watch, runtime: 02:59<\/a>). The government will announce fuel prices today under its new fuel pricing mechanism, which lets it decide fuel prices based on global oil prices and the exchange rate.<\/p>\n<p><b>Gold prices declined in Egypt and abroad yesterday:<\/b> Hona Al Asema\u2019s Reham Ibrahim spoke to Nady Naguib, general secretary of the Gold Division at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, who said that the price of a gram of 21-carat gold fell to 675 pounds from 677 pounds in morning trading.
