A prominent Egyptian rights activist with ties to Italy walked free from jail Thursday, according to his family and a rights defender.
Patrick George Zaki, a postgraduate student in Italy, was pardoned by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi along with five other people on Wednesday, according to the country's Official Gazette.
"Patrick is on the Asfalt," his sister, Marise Zaki, wrote on her Facebook page, using a phrase activist usually use when detainees walk free. In a recorded speech late Wednesday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Zaki will return to Italy on Thursday.
