The Second Chamber of the Terrorism Court, headed by Judge Wajdi Abdel Moneim, has decided to postpone the trial session of 87 defendants involved in Case No. 17628 of 2024 for the crimes of Nasr City. This case comes against the backdrop of being accused of joining the terrorist group ISIS. Their next hearing is expected to take place on December 13 to present arguments.
Leading a Terrorist Group
The information in the referral order indicates that the defendants led a terrorist group from 2022 to November 2023. They allegedly founded a group whose authority is contested by the State, resulting in attacks on personal freedoms and threats to national unity and security. The group also aims to change the regime by force, targeting public institutions and individuals.
Social Media
In addition, charges were brought against the remaining defendants in relation to joining this terrorist group with knowledge of its purposes, as well as some charges related to the financing of terrorism and the use of social media platforms to exchange messages and assignments.
The issue remains of public interest, reflecting the significant challenges that societies face in the areas of national security and social cohesion. Addressing such issues requires public awareness and strengthened efforts by the authorities to achieve justice and stability.
