In a case that captured significant public attention and sparked widespread outrage, Damanhour Criminal Court sentenced a school official to life imprisonment for the sexual assault of six-year-old Yassin, a private school student in Beheira Governorate.
The assault, which occurred in February 2024, had initially been closed by authorities in February 2025 due to inconclusive police findings, despite the child's mother reporting the crime nearly a year prior.
However, the case was dramatically revived following intense public condemnation across social media platforms in Egypt.
On the day of the trial, Yassin attended the proceedings with his family, wearing a Spider-Man costume, as a sign for psychological support.
Hundreds of supportive citizens, including a significant number of school students, demonstrated outside the courthouse.
Their signs conveyed unwavering solidarity with Yassin and his family, demanding the severest punishment for the perpetrator.
