Suspect Held Over Mosque Assault That Cost Volunteer His Right Eye

Investigating authorities in Shubra El-Kheima, in Egypt’s Qalyubia governorate, have ordered a suspect detained for four days pending an investigation into an assault inside a mosque.

The victim was a volunteer worker at the mosque. The suspect is accused of attacking him on the premises.

The assault resulted in the worker’s right eye being torn out, according to the case summary. No further details were provided about his condition or treatment.

The detention order is a preliminary measure while investigators examine the incident, rather than a conviction or sentence.
