Sisi Vows to Free “Innocent Youths”

We know al-Sisi is wanting to give the moderate youths of Muslim Brotherhood the chance to join the political framework of Egypt so this news does not come as a surprise. It would be interesting to see if they use these youths to form a new secular version of Muslim Brotherhood - and deal with the old guard.

From Source:
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi promised on Sunday to release young people who may have been wrongly jailed during a military crackdown on the opposition since he overthrew his Islamist predecessor in 2013.
He said journalists had complained that there were innocent people in prison, so he told them to draw up a list.
"I told them I don't deny there might be innocent youths" in prison, Sisi said.
"Over the next few days the first group of our youths in detention will be released," he added.
