Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has pardoned 54 inmates from the Sinai Peninsula, responding to requests from local tribal leaders.
The presidential statement emphasized the “historic role” of the Sinai people in combating terrorism and contributing to the region’s development and stability.
While the specific details of the pardoned individuals and their convictions were not disclosed, the move is seen as an effort to foster national reconciliation.
The Sinai Peninsula, bordering the Gaza Strip, has witnessed significant security challenges in recent years.
This act of clemency aligns with the Egyptian government’s efforts to promote stability and reconciliation within the region.
