Stoning trains risks jail and fine
Anyone who assaults railway trains by throwing stones or engaging in similar actions faces severe penalties, including imprisonment and fines. Offenders are prosecuted under Law No. 277 of 1959, as amended, which stipulates imprisonment or a fine of up to 20,000 Egyptian pounds, with the possibility of imprisonment if the assault results in injury or death. Penalties also include requiring the offender to compensate for damages caused to passengers or property, with stricter penalties if the act endangers passengers' lives or damages railway equipment. Additionally, the law prohibits acts that threaten the safety of train operations, such as trespassing, obstructing equipment, or driving vehicles across railway lines in unauthorized areas. These penalties aim to protect the railway infrastructure and ensure the safety of passengers and workers, serving as a deterrent against acts that threaten the security and safety of all.
