15 Egyptian fishermen detained in Libya released

Assistant Foreign Minister Ali Ashry announced that the Egyptian embassy in Tripoli has resolved the crisis of 15 Egyptian fishermen, including two minors under the age of 15, who had illegally entered the territorial waters of Libya 10 days ago aboard the fishing boat "Prince Hamid." 
 
"The Libyan attorney general issued a decision to release them all and to deport them back," he explained.
 
The Egyptian embassy in Tripoli hosted the sailors over the past few days, until the Libyan Attorney General made the decision to release them.
