State Security Prosecution renewed the detention of translator and cartoonist at Almanassa website  Ashraf Omar Mohamed Sadek for 15 days pending investigation in case No. 1568 of 2024 Supreme State Security four months after being arrested and forcibly disappeared. 

He has been charged with spreading false news that could disturb public peace and security, misusing social media, and joining a banned group. An iPad and 80,000 Egyptian pounds were confiscated during the arrest.

AFTE is defending Omar and cooperating with Mr. Khaled Ali’s law firm.

On July 22, security forces raided his home in the October Gardens at 1:30 AM and took him to an unknown location. 

Surveillance cameras showed a group of individuals in two microbuses entering the building, and about 40 minutes later, they were seen leaving with Omar, who was blindfolded. His family has been unable to ascertain his whereabouts or communicate with him for 3 days before presenting him at the prosecution.

Ashraf Omar recently published several satirical drawings on “Al-Manassa,” addressing issues such as the electricity crisis and the operation of the monorail amid scarce resources. He has also worked as a translator for books and articles for several platforms, including “Mada Masr.”
