The MPs of the Egyptian Social Democratic party, which holds 7 seats in the parliament, presented a letter to Hanafy Gebaly, the speaker of the parliament. The letter included the names of 78 political detainees demanding their release. The seven MPs demanded Gebaly to exert his efforts so that the political detainees who are prisoned just for their opinions and ideas could be released. “They emphasized that the freedom of the home and its dignity originate from the freedom of the citizens and their dignity,” the party said on Facebook.

The letter indicated that a lot of political detainees have an expanded imprisonment with maximum remand (2 years) without evidence on the charges against them, but rather the remand is renewed after its maximum by inserting them in new cases with random charges. “This deepens the suffering and hurt of the detainees and their families,” they added.

The list included the following names of detainees:

1. Ziad el-Eleimy, member of the politburo of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party
