Prosecutor's appeal on terror funding suspect denied
The competent court rejected the Public Prosecution's appeal against the decision to release the defendant, Muhammad Arafat, who was charged with terrorism financing, belonging to a terrorist group, and spreading false news aimed at disturbing public peace and undermining the trust of the Egyptian state. It confirmed that the Penal Code punishes the spreading of false news that harms public interest or incites panic with imprisonment for up to one year and a monetary fine, or one of these penalties. It also prescribes a punishment of three to five years and a fine for broadcasting false news from abroad that could harm the standing of the state. The court decided to uphold the release order, maintaining consistency with the principle that the penalty should not exceed the legal limits.
