Egypt’s extradition request to Lebanon included the names of seven of the eight suspects in the Fairmont case. It found that five out of the seven suspects had entered Lebanon in late July and two of them had left, with just three remaining in Lebanese territory. Two additional suspects in the case were arrested in Egypt in late August. Both Amir Zayed, arrested August 27, and Omar Hafez, arrested August 30, are currently detained under Egypt’s Public Prosecution. The perpetrators also allegedly filmed the gang rape, after which they each signed their name on the victim’s body and then used the video to blackmail her.
