Patrick Zaki remains in prison.
It is not known yet for how many days, but for now it remains.
This is essentially the result of a new hearing on the renewal of the pre-trial detention in Cairo for the Egyptian student of the "Alma Mater" University of Bologna in prison in Egypt for over a year and a half on charges of subversive propaganda on Internet.
"It has been renewed," one of her lawyers, Hoda Nasrallah, told ANSA, referring to pre-trial detention but without being able to specify how many days: this will be notified "tomorrow or the day after", added the lawyer contacted by telephone. The announcement came earlier than expected, as notification of the outcome of hearings is usually given the next day, but this time it was one of the rare exceptions to this rule. It is therefore now a question of learning whether the umpteenth extension will be, as usual, 45 days or less, as the lawyer has suggested without wishing to formulate further predictions on the outcome of the hearing held at the Court set up in the Institute for assistants. police station, annexed to the Tora prison, at theextreme southern suburb of Cairo where Patrick is locked up sleeping on the ground. The wish expressed by Riccardo Noury, spokesman for Amnesty International Italia, is therefore rejected that for Patrick "18 and a half months of detention, without being able to defend himself" were "sufficient".
And the Italian mobilization in his favor remains unsuccessful, institutionally culminating in a request from the Chamber of Deputies to the Government of Italian citizenship. Yet, at the request of Italy, diplomats from the embassies of Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States had gone to court in Cairo as part of the European Union's procedural observation mechanism. Italian diplomats attended all the hearings and once again they intervened on behalf of the whole EU. For months, outsiders, and therefore not even diplomats, have not been allowed access to the State Security Court where hearings are held and officials, as usual, have filed a written communication to report their interest to the judge. for the chance and the desire to resume attending the sessions.Nonetheless, diplomats took the opportunity to gather updates from Patrick's lawyer, Hoda Nasrallah, and speak to activists who support him. Patrick was arrested on February 7, 2020 but pre-trial detention in Egypt can last two years with the possibility of extensions if new accusations emerge. If he goes to trial, according to Amnesty International, the researcher-activist for human and civil rights faces up to 25 years in prison. The charges against him are based on ten posts from a Facebook account that his lawyers consider edited by another person but which have configured among other things the "spread of false news", "incitement to protest" and " the incitement to violence and terrorist crimes ".opportunity to gather updates from Patrick's lawyer, Hoda Nasrallah, and speak with activists who support him.
