The State Security Prosecution decided on Sunday, October 13, 2024, to extend the detention of Islam Mahmoud Abdelaziz, Abdelaziz Ramadan Ali, Tamer Moawad Eid, and Mohamed Awad Abdelaziz for an additional 15 days, pending investigation in Case No. 3434 of 2024, overseen by the State Security Prosecution.
