Egypt

Report filed to prosecutor demanding further investigations into al-Karm attack

 

A report was filed to the public prosecutor on Sunday by 50 public and political figures demanding that investigations be reopened into al-Karm attack. This incident dates back to July when an elderly Coptic woman was stripped naked in the village of al-Karm in Minya province.

Prosecutor Nabil Sadeq received the report from the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights as well as several public and political figures, and activists.

 

The report indicated President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s anger about the incident. The president had stressed that she would receive her rights, as per the law. 

The report said that Minya prosecution, which conducted investigations, declared a lack of evidence, instead of referring the incident to court. Security services investigations confirmed the incidents, the report said, adding that the woman who sheltered the defendant testified.
