Cairo Criminal Court, headed by judge Hassan Farid, ordered on Wednesday the release of former President Mohamed Morsi's former secretary, Amin Abdel Hamid al-Serafy, on bail.
Serafy is accused of joining the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group.
The court ordered the release of seven other detainees facing the same charges, including Ashraf al-Naggar, Mohamed Abdel Qader, Abdel Nasser Elian, Mohamed Haitham, Nasser Abdel Wahab, Abdel Hamid Saad Eddin, and Magdy Fouda.
