Five members of a group of peaceful and progressive Muslims, the Quranists, have been released by Egyptian authorities after 130 days of arbitrary detention, the International Quranic Center reported Monday.

The Center reports that they were released because of lack of evidences, saying that no decision has been made on the contempt of religious case that they were involved in.
