Egypt sentences student to 25 years over phone chip
This case concerns a sentence of 25 years in prison imposed on a university student in Egypt because a SIM card registered in his name was used in criminal activities without his knowledge. It all started when a friend asked him to get a phone line registered in his name for his sister, but he did not use the SIM card. Subsequently, this SIM card appeared in investigations related to a drug case, leading to a court ruling against him in absentia. The student requested a re-investigation to prove his innocence, arguing that registering a line in someone else's name exposes data owners to the risk of unfair accusations. He emphasized the need to strengthen identity verification procedures to prevent data from being exploited in criminal cases. Legal experts confirm that the verdict is subject to appeal and that the responsibility of the SIM card owner depends on proving they did not use the line at the time of the crime. They also stressed the importance of implementing security procedures to protect personal data and avoid such cases.
