"The Egyptian government has deprived Dawoud of nearly two years of his life for no reason other than his opposition to Sisi's crushing of democracy," dawnmena.org/egypt-khaled-d…
DAWN documented Dawoud's unjust prosecution from the moment he was arrested until his release, shedding light on the officials involved in abusing Dawoud's due process rights. The most prominent of these officials, featured in DAWN's culprit gallery, are:
General Prosecutor Hamada Alsawy, who bears overall responsibility for prosecutions; First Attorney of the Supreme State Security Prosecution Khaled Diaa el-Din and Judge Moataz Khafagi, head of the Second Terrorism Circuit of the Giza Criminal Court.
"There was no evidence of any crime, so Judge Moataz Khafagi and Prosecutor Khaled Diaa el-Din used pretrial detention as punishment, sentencing Dawoud to 19 months of mistreatment in prison and separation from his son, ailing father and now-deceased sister,"
Tens of thousands of arbitrarily held detainees are still languishing in prisons for their peaceful dissent or their independent journalism
