Fairmont Hotel, Cairo.
Today, Sunday, the Egyptian Public Prosecutor’s Office stated that it had ordered the arrest of a second defendant pending investigations of an alleged gang rape case at the “Fairmont” hotel in Cairo in 2014.
The prosecution said, in a statement, that it had ordered that “the accused Omar Hafez remain in preventive detention until the facts of assaulting a girl at the Fairmont hotel are investigated, after his arrest pursuant to the decision of the Public Ministry on August 28 this year “.
The Egyptian Public Ministry added that it “confronted him with the charges against him and investigations are being completed” in the case.
Police arrested the man on August 28, days after the arrest of the first suspect in Cairo, the accused Amir Zayed, who was ordered by the Public Ministry to imprison him for 4 days.
The police arrested Amir Zayed if he tried to flee out of the country like the rest of the accused, for accusing him of an incident similar to the one mentioned.
The Prosecutor’s Office has taken steps to arrest all the accused through Interpol and investigations are being completed.
On Wednesday, the Attorney General’s Office said 7 other suspects fled the country between July 27 and 29 after the accusations against them began to spread online.
In Lebanon, the General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces said in a statement on Saturday that 5 of the 7 suspects had fled to the country, and that it arrested 3 of them on August 28 after receiving a notification from the office of the International Police Organization Interpol in Egypt, and indicated that another 2 left the country. .
Anger over inaction over the 2014 Cairo Fairmont Hotel incident helped spark a campaign against sexual harassment and assault involving hundreds of women with their testimonies online.
