Article 201 of the Egyptian Code of Criminal Procedure regulates alternatives to pretrial detention.
Second: Simple imprisonment and its alternatives: Article 18 of the Egyptian Penal Code allows for replacing simple imprisonment sentences not exceeding six months, in accordance with the rules set out in Articles 479, 520, 521, 522, and 523 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
