Sources within presidency, revealed Sunday in a statement to Al-Bawaba News that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will issue a decree pardoning more than 100 young men, ahead of January 25 revolution's anniversary. The sources who spoke to Al-Bawaba on condition of anonymity, stressed that the priority among imprisoned young men to receive a presidential pardon are those who have a critical health condition and university students accused of violating the protest law. This comes in light of the state's determination to contain the anger of young people and pardon a number of young prisoners, after a meeting between al-Sisi and a group of young political activists in the past few days.
