An Egyptian court has ordered the release of the editor of an independent news website accused of an array of charges, including membership in the banned Muslim Brotherhood group.
The Giza criminal court said Adel Sabri would be released on bail of $560. He is expected to leave jail later on Monday.
The Masr al-Arabia website was shuttered upon Sabri's arrest in April, a day after authorities announced that President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi had won a second, four-year term in office with 97% of the vote.
Sabri is accused of publishing false news and managing an unlicensed website.
Egypt has regularly detained and prosecuted journalists since the military overthrow of an elected but divisive Islamist president in 2013, part of a wider crackdown on dissent.
