The Supreme State Security Public Prosecution issued a release order for Mohamed Adel owner of "Maeit" blog who was taken into custody more than 3 months ago. Maeit was accused of joining a secret armed internet-based group that was supporting Hamas. Up to the moment of writing those words Adel is still in the custody of the Supreme State Security Public Prosecution and is not literally free. EgyWorkers blog sincerely congratulates Adel, his family, and his friends and hopes that he would be released shortly.
