The victim was arrested on August 24, 2016 from 6th of October City, and was taken to an unknown destination without giving reasons. He has not been presented to any investigating authorities yet.

A year after his arrest, his name was included in Military Case 64, known in the media as the attempted assassination of the Assistant Public Prosecutor, and in March 2020, the Criminal Court issued a ruling to punish him in absentia with life imprisonment, despite his arrest in August 2016.

His family submitted a large number of telegrams and complaints to the Public Prosecutor, the Ministry of Interior, the Council of Ministers, and the People’s Assembly and did not receive a response from these parties regarding his place of detention or his legal status.
