Luke Gates, 21, was one of the three students that were detained in Cairo after being accused of throwing Molotov Cocktails during protests, has returned home, according to CBS News.

Gates arrived in the U.S. late Saturday and is expected to return home to Indiana soon.

Mark Land, spokesman of Indiana University where Gates attends school, said Gate’s parents decline to talk with the media, according to CBS News.

The protests in Cairo have grown to 100,000 people in anticipation of the landmark parliamentary elections that are due to start on Monday.

“He said he was doing very well and he was very excited to be on his way home,” said Land, according to CBS News.
