Happy Eid. You have pleased Allan. |
Egypt has freed most 54 people arrested in connection with inter-communal riots in the Egyptian town of Alexandria last month, a judiciary source told KUNA on Tuesday. The total number of those freed, said the source, has reached 104. As many as 17 people are still detained. Muslim demonstrators clashed with police outside Saint Girgis Coptic Orthodox Church on October 21 in sectarian violence that left scores wounded.
