Mona Fouad, a lawyer and Kefaya’s coordinator in the Upper Egyptian city of Sohag, was brutally assaulted late Friday night.
Mona was followed by two persons, as she departed her office in Nasser neighborhood, where Sohag’s State Security office and Security Directorate are also located. She felt she was slowly passing out for an unexplained reason, and woke up to find out she was bleeding. The only person nearby was a security agent with a walkie-talkie. When she screamed for help, he told her to “wait. I have to get el-Basha‘s permission first.” He left her for a period of time she could not determine. Finally an ambulance showed up and transferred her to the Sohag General Hospital, where her wounds and injuries earned her 35 stitches.
What we know is that the Sohag prosecutor has gone to the hospital to interrogate Mona about the incident. No more details are available yet.
