New charges could lead to death penalty in Yassin assault case: Lawyer
Issam Mohanna, the lawyer representing the family of the child Yassin, expressed his great relief at what he described as a victory for justice and a vindication for the child and his family. He emphasized that the court had responded to the defense's requests and added new charges from the Child Law, which could potentially raise the penalty to the death sentence, instead of just settling for a life imprisonment sentence. During a phone interview with journalist Nihal Tayel on the 'Tafasel' (Details) program broadcast on Sada El Balad 2 channel, Mohanna explained, 'Despite the attempts at postponement at the beginning of the session, we were fully prepared for the pleadings. Delays in cases of this nature psychologically harm the child and their family. The child Yassin was with us since the morning and fell asleep inside the courtroom due to extreme exhaustion.' The victim's lawyer noted that the judge permitted Yassin's mother to speak after the legal arguments concluded, and during her testimony, she wept. Mohanna concluded that crimes of child sexual abuse or rape are very rarely reported, with the number not exceeding one case out of every 1000, because most victims and their families fear scandal. The Damanhour Criminal Court in Beheira Governorate sentenced on Wednesday the perpetrator who assaulted the child Yassin, known in the media as the 'Damanhour Student,' to life imprisonment of 25 years.

Spider-Man at Court: Life Sentence for Abuser in Yassin Case
Nada Mustafa 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. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
