Most of those released were accused of joining a terrorist organization and spreading false news in different cases from 2013 to 2025, according to human rights lawyer Khaled Ali, who shared the list of the names of the detainees online.

Since the reactivation of the Presidential Pardon Committee in April 2022, several hundred pretrial detainees have been released by the prosecution.

The pardon committee considers appeals from entities and political bodies, such as the National Council for Human Rights (NCHR) and Parliament’s Human Rights Committee.  It also receives requests through its website.
