Al-Nozha prosecutors on Monday ordered release of Mahmoud Rihan, member of the Egyptian Federation of Transport Workers.
The leading trade unionist at Cairo International Airport was charged with insulting President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and disclosing national security secrets on Facebook. He has been detained by the National Security since November 10.
Rihan is known for his criticism of the government in regards to freedoms and worker rights.
