The general lawyer of Kafr El-shiekh’s attorneys biases for the police
The police forces launched today an arrest campaign and committed many assaults against students and citizens while their waiting for the result of the investigations with the students Sarah Rezk and Amina Taha. Human rights NGOs declared that when their lawyers defending sarah and Amina protested against what happened, the police assaulted and beat the lawyers, who were saved after the intervention of many local lawyers in the delta governorate.
The lawyers were shocked when they headed towards Ahmad Tolba, the general lawyer for Kafr El-shiekh”s attorneys and found that instead of bringing back their rights, he was angry at them and criticized their defending what he considered “spoiled students”.
The human rights NGOs declared that “we are so sorry and surprised after this situation, it is clear bias and violation for the values of the general lawyer”s position, which leads us to be skeptic regarding the investigations he supervises”
The lawyers insisted on filing a report against the assaulting officers who insulted them along with students. Those officers are;
Afifi Alnajar, head of criminal investigation unit in Lafrelskiekh.
Haitham alhaiatmi, inspector in Kafr El-shiekh police.
Ahmad Sakran, the chief of Kafr El-shiekh “Bandar Awal” investigation.
Mohammed Khamiss, a state security officer in Kafr El-shiekh.
Although the chief of Kafrelshiekh attorney accepted the report and confirmed that he will begin an investigation, the human right organizations will demand transferring the investigation to the attorney General”s office in Cairo, especially because the general lawyer in Kafrelshiekh is biased against the lawyers and students so they cannot trust the investigation when held under his supervision.
