Egyptian court reduces Tunisian attendant sentence
The Egyptian Court of Cassation ruled on September 23, 2026, to accept the appeal submitted by the defense of Tunisian flight attendant Amira bint Hamad and to reduce her sentence from 15 years to 7 years in prison. This pertains to the case involving the death of her infant daughter, Tara, inside the family home in New Cairo. The final verdict included the cancellation of the previous heavy prison sentence and confirmed the reduction of the penalty. The case has been among the most prominent ones that attracted media attention. The evidence linked the child's death to suffocation caused by a cloth strap. Additionally, the defendant's defense addressed her mental and psychological state, requesting a re-evaluation by an independent medical committee due to indications of mental disorder and the influence of thoughts and hallucinations that allegedly affected her before the incident.
