The lawyer for Mohamed Adel, murderer of Mansoura University student Naira Ashraf, has been sentenced to three years in prison over assaulting both a media presenter and citizen.
Ashraf al-Gharib, the father of Naira Ashraf, commented on the news on Facebook, writing: “Finally, Ahmed Hamdy, the lawyer of the butcher Mohamed Adel, has been arrested to serve his sentence of three years in prison.”
Authorities arrested Hamdy after the Tanta Criminal Court sentenced him to three years in prison and police surveillance following his assault of both media host Mohamed al-Ghazary, the presenter of the Al-Salon program on Al-Hadath Today Channel, and another citizen on al-Bahr Street in Tanta.
The Tanta Criminal Court, headed by Counselor Nabil Mohamed Rabie, issued the sentence during its March 7 session.
The Second Tanta Deputy Prosecutor, Hesham al-Naggar, ordered the arrest after the charges of assault were proven in a reported submitted by al-Ghazary and from a citizen who accused the lawyer of injuring him to the point of permanent disability.
The case was numbered #20937 for 2022 in Tanta Second Crimes and registered under #3115 in Crimes of West Tanta General.
