The Supreme State Security Prosecution has decided to renew the detention of Mohamed Sherif Abdel-Alim Rifai for 15 days pending investigation in case no. 3434 of 2024, Supreme State Security. 

Rifai was arrested on July 12, 2024, after being stopped by police forces in the Maadi area. 

He was taken to a location which was unknown to his family and lawyers, until he was presented before the Supreme State Security Prosecution three days later, on July 15, 2024. 

Rifai is facing charges of joining a terrorist group with full knowledge of its objectives, publishing and broadcasting false news and statements that could harm security and public order, and using a social media account to spread false news. 

Rifai has not been presented with any publications or evidence supporting these accusations.
