In conjunction with Ahmed Ragheb for Law and Legal Consultations, AFTE filed a memorandum of reasons of appeal against the negative verdict issued by Cairo Criminal Court, in which it stipulated the punishment of \u201cHaneen Hossam Abdel-Kader Mohamed Abdel-Glil\u201d with a ten-year heavy prison sentence and a fine of 200 thousand pounds for what was attributed to her, and to punish \u201cMawaddah Fathy Rashad al-Adham\u201d and others with a six-year heavy prison sentence and a fine of 200 thousand pounds for what was attributed to them, and to obligate them to afford the expenses and confiscation of seized tools and sums, pending Case No. 4917 of 2020, Sahel Felonies, registered under No. 2016 of 2020 North Cairo.<\/p>\n
The memorandum of appeal was based on:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\n
- First: error in law by ignoring the text of articles 454 and 455 of criminal procedures and to address a fact that was previously decided upon by the final judgment issued by the Economic Court regarding the accusation of destroying family values, as the Economic Court acquitted \u201cHaneen Hossam\u201d and \u201cMawaddah al-Adham\u201d of charges of assaulting family values, and creating and managing social private accounts, but the Public Prosecution referred them to the Criminal Court in the current case on the background of a video clip that the Public Prosecution considered it as an attack on the values of the Egyptian family and incitement to prostitution and human trafficking, although the same video clip was presented as incriminating evidence in the first case, but the Economic Court did not consider it as evidence of indictment and acquitted them.<\/li>\n
- Second: error in reasoning and in understanding the reality, violation of the evidence established in the papers by relying on verbal evidence by considering it technical evidence and excluding the only technical evidence found in papers.<\/li>\n
- Third: deficiencies in the statement and causation for not invocation the crime of human trafficking, as well as the manifestations of use and exploitation in the actions attributed to the appellant, over and above the court\u2019s failure to respond to the appellant\u2019s essential defense of not having control over her personal accounts, the subject of the crime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
