Supreme State Security Prosecution\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

On March 17, the Supreme State Security Prosecution released journalist Ahmed Abdel Majid, under the guarantee of his place of residence, pending investigations of lawsuit No. 2070 of 2022 (Supreme State Security).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Abdel Majid was convicted in this case for posting about the hunger strike of activist Alaa Abdel Fatah; thus, a security force arrested him from his house on November 9. Abdel Majid faced accusations of joining and financing a terrorist group, participating in a criminal agreement aiming to commit a terrorist act, using social media to commit a terrorist act, and inciting to commit a terrorist act.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On March 22, the Supreme State Security Prosecution released Ahmed Nabil Ebrahim under the guarantee of his place of residence in connection with lawsuit No. 2094 of 2022 (Supreme State Security).<\/span><\/p>\n

The police stopped Ebrahim on November 11 to search him while he was on the street located in the Dokki district as a reaction to the increasing calls for November 11 demonstrations, ten days after his arrest; Ebrahim appeared before the prosecution against accusations of joining a terrorist group, committing the crime of financing terrorism, inciting to commit a terrorist crime, participating in a criminal agreement aimed to commit a terrorist crime, spreading false news and statements and using an account on the internet aiming to commit a terrorist crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

State Council Courts\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

On March 14, AFTE filed an appeal before the Administrative Court against the head of the Syndicate Of Artists on behalf of Ayman Abdel Moniem Elsayed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenging the Syndicate Of Artists\u2019 negative decision that refrained Elsayed from joining the syndicate despite his fulfillment of all the required conditions that make him qualified to join it, the syndicate declined to comment or give any reasons for its refusal. The lawsuit carried out No. 40133 of 77.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a similar context, AFTE filed an appeal on March 19 against the president of Helwan University and the dean of the university\u2019s Faculty of Art Education on behalf of Sarah Ahmed El-Taher. The appeal carried No. 2330 of 70.<\/span><\/p>\n

AFTE filed the appeal on the grounds of Helwan University\u2019s refusal to r hire El-Taher at the University for lack of security approval. The University had previously informed El-Taher that she was nominated as a teaching assistant after she graduated with very good with honor degree. The University also ignored El-Taher’s inquiries about why she was excluded from the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Criminal Courts\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

On March 21, the Criminal Court (First Terrorism Circuit) renewed poet Jalal Al-Behairi\u2019s detention for 45 days pending investigations of his third lawsuit, No. 2000 of 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Court\u2019s decision to extend Al-Behairi\u2019s detention came despite his going on a hunger and medicine strike since March 5 as a protest of being in detention for five years despite the lack of reasonable grounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Al-Behairi faces accusations of joining a terrorist group with knowledge of its purposes and spreading and broadcasting false news and statements that would harm public security.<\/span><\/p>\n
