I’ve just received information that the Galaa Prosecutor’s office has ordered the release of the 21 Kefaya detainees.
I’m trying to get more details now… I’ll update the posting soon..
UPDATE: Yes! It’s confirmed! The boys will be released and no Tora Prison for them this time.
Leftist lawyer Ahmad Seif told me he was still not sure which police station the detainees will be taken to in order to process their release, but we expect it may be El-Dhaher Police Station again.
The five charges filed by the police against the activists, according to Seif, were:
1-Taking part in an illegal assembly of more than five persons
2-Spreading subversive ideas, aiming at disturbing public order and peace
3-Possessing subversive literature, that agitates for disturbing public order (Ahmad Seif said the SS police however did not present to the prosecution this “literature.”)
4-Assaulting Public officials (i.e. police officers) physically and verbally
5-Disrupting public traffic and means of transportation
Mabrouk ya shabab!
