Egyptian doctor gets probation over hospital post
An Egyptian court sentenced former doctor Omnia Sowayan to six months in prison suspended, and fined her 20,000 Egyptian pounds, after she was convicted of spreading false news on Facebook about instances of abuse and neglect at As-Shaabty University Hospital in Alexandria between 2020 and 2021. Her post included allegations of sexual assaults and insults. The prosecution stated that Sowayan admitted she did not verify the accuracy of some of her claims, while the university and the syndicate denied that any official complaints had been filed against her.
