Egyptian security services have arrested a group of men involved in a Facebook video of a citizen with special needs being bullied on a public road. No one had submitted any reports with the police regarding the video. Upon their arrest, the mobile phone used in the incident was found in their profession. The suspects admitted to the harassment and to filming the video. The new law sets the punishment of a bully at imprisonment for a period of no less than six months, and a fine that is no less than LE10,000 and no more than LE30,000, or one of these two penalties.
