On January 30, the Supreme State Security Prosecution decided to renew the detention of Agricultural engineer Ashraf Ali Elgamal for 15 days, pending investigations of case No. 1977 of 2022.
Security forces arrested Elgamal on October 28 of last year; against the backdrop of posting about price hikes on social media. The prosecution interrogated him for the first time on November 5, and charged him with joining a terrorist group, financing a terrorist group, spreading false news, participating in a criminal agreement to commit a terrorist act, promoting a terrorist act, and incitement to commit a terrorist act.
