In a high-profile case that has captured the attention of Egypt and the Middle East, the prison authorities in Egypt have sentenced Mohammad Adel, the convicted murderer of Egyptian student Naira Ashraf, to death. The sentence was carried out in a public execution in front of the Arts Gate of Al-Mansoura University, following the rejection of Mohammad Adel’s appeal.
Naira Ashraf was tragically killed by Mohammad Adel in a horrific incident that took place in front of the gate of the Faculty of Arts at Al-Mansoura University, located in Aldakahliya Commissionary.
The court had dismissed Mohammad Adel’s objections against the death penalty. The Egyptian Public Prosecution had presented 25 witnesses in court, including students, university security guards, and nearby shopkeepers, who testified that they had witnessed the killing of Mohammad Adel by stabbing Naira Ashraf.
During the trial, Naira Ashraf’s family and friends testified that Mohammad Adel had been threatening her and causing harm. He was angry because Naira Ashraf had refused his marriage proposals.
The military court, responsible for handling the case, established that Mohammad Adel had intentionally planned and executed the murder. It is important to note that military cases in Egypt typically undergo a longer process before reaching a resolution.
Public Prosecutor Hamada Al-Sawi swiftly brought the case to the military court, presenting the details of the murder of the Egyptian university student within 48 hours of the incident occurring at Al-Mansoura University.
This tragic event follows a previous incident at the Faculty of Arts of Al-Mansoura University, where another student fatally stabbed a fellow student after she rejected his marriage proposal. The resemblance between the two cases has heightened concerns over the safety of students within the university campus.
The case has sparked discussions on social media platforms throughout Egypt and the Middle East. Arab media outlets have dubbed it “the case of the Egyptian university student,” shedding light on the pressing issue of safety and the need for increased security measures within educational institutions.
