CAIRO - 18 November 2024: A doctor who appeared in a viral Facebook live video calling on men to take DNA tests for themselves and their children had a "breakdown" after her detention was renewed for 15 days pending investigation. She claimed such pregnancies are a “phenomenon,” hence families should stop positive parenting, return to corporal punishment of girls, and men should take tests to make sure they are their fathers’ and their kids are biologically theirs. The syndicate received complaints that she violated patient privacy, refusing to aid a patient, and stirring public opinion for asking men to take DNA kids. In a later video, Shoaeb said that as long as she did not reveal the patients’ identities, she has not revealed medical secrets. She added that wage was only “raising awareness.”The prosecution did not, however, charge Shoaeb of the syndicate’s accusations.
