Egypt: Two women arrested following a verdict to imprison 14 others

Yesterday, the security forces of Egypt’s Dakahlia Governorate arrested two women in the city of Senbellawein against the backdrop of a ruling issued by the Criminal Court of Mansoura the previous day in favour of jailing 14 other women.

The Mansoura Criminal Court sentenced 18 civilians, including 14 women to imprisonment, on charges of banditry and disturbing the public peace in Senbellawein.

The court also sentenced four men, Mohammed Ibrahim Mohammed Alshwel, Abdul Rahman Mohammed Ibrahim Mohammed, Majdi Mehrez Al-Hamzawi Mehrez, and Maaz Ali Al-Saeed, to three years in jail and acquitted five other citizens.
