Irish citizens released from detention in Egypt

Egyptian authorities stopped activists on June 13, 2025, from marching to Gaza to protest Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid.
The march followed months of planning and aimed to highlight Gaza's worsening humanitarian crisis amid Israeli airstrikes and restricted aid flows.
Clashes broke out between Egyptian forces and foreign pro-Palestine activists, with hundreds detained or deported and passports confiscated en route.
Irish deputy premier confirmed several Irish detainees, including Paul Murphy, were released, with Murphy posting he was safe in Cairo and deciding next steps.
The crackdown reflects Egypt's delicate political position and the continuing blockade's role in escalating Gaza's humanitarian emergency, prompting calls for restraint.
