President's amnesty is imperfect
I have many questions concerning the amnesty given by President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi to some prisoners, most of whom belong to the Muslim Brotherhood. Who made such list and why? Is it true that Saudi Arabia or Germany has interfered to impose reconciliation with the terrorist organization?
 
Mr. President, Why did your amnesty not include names like Mounir El Masry, Youssef Shaaban and Mohamed Iraqi? the first and the second were arrested in the reign of the MB because they demonstrated against them and the last one was accused of trying to overthrow the regime of the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, they should have been released long time ago right after the MB regime was overthrown.
 
Mr. President, your amnesty should have included those who supported June 30 revolution, and not those who support the terrorist organization. Moreover, your amnesty may be taken as accusation to the interior ministry that those people are innocent. 
 
Do you know that a young Egyptian man is about to lose sight and is not being treated. This young man is called Peter Gamal.
 
Mr. President your amnesty is incomplete because it is not clear and unjustifiable. It is our right to understand the truth. We chose and elected you to comfort us, but we are still suffering and we need to know. 
I do not ask for amnesty for Ahmed Doma for example, but I demand an amnesty for many of those who deserve amnesty, and yet are living behind bars. Your amnesty should extend to those who deserve it, and not only the Muslim Brotherhood.
