Prosecutors Extend Detention of Suspect in Social Media Misuse Case by 15 Days

Egypt’s Public Prosecution has renewed a suspect’s pretrial detention for 15 days pending an investigation into allegations involving a terrorist group and the misuse of social media.

The suspect is accused of participating in a terrorist group established in violation of the law. The investigation also concerns the suspect’s alleged use of social media platforms.

The available case summary did not identify the suspect or the group involved. It also provided no details about the online activity under investigation or the platforms allegedly used.

The detention extension keeps the suspect in custody while prosecutors continue their inquiries. The allegations remain under investigation, and no verdict was reported.
