The State Security Prosecution in Fifth Settlement decided to renew the detention of Saeed Mansour Abdel-Razek for two weeks. The defendant appeared via videoconference.
As in every previous session, Saeed requested that his lawyer be allowed to visit him in prison, adding that he needed clothes and food.
Over the past month and a half, the lawyer has repeatedly submitted requests to the State Security Prosecution for visitation permits, but these requests have been ignored — neither accepted nor rejected.
During the session, Saeed lost his composure and told the prosecutor: “I have become a Christian and no longer have relatives who can come visit me — I need my lawyer to be allowed to visit me.“
His lawyer stated that the most basic right of a detainee is to receive visits, adding that he was confident his words would reach an official capable of understanding the case from a humanitarian perspective, free from fanaticism and away from the case’s political dimensions.
This is deeply concerning. Its appalling that Saeeds lawyer visits are repeatedly denied, denying him basic human rights. The lack of response from authorities is inexcusable and highlights systemic injustice.Free Nano Banana
