Repeated summons of lawyers for interrogation amount to harassment that must end at once

The Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and Legal Profession (ACIJLP) expresses its profound concern regarding the ongoing situation of human rights lawyer Mahinour El-Masry. She has been repeatedly summoned for interrogation before the Supreme State Security Prosecution and subjected to a travel ban, not on the basis of any criminal conduct, but solely as a consequence of her activism and her work in the defense of human rights and of those unjustly detained.

The most recent summons, delivered to her family and requiring her appearance for interrogation, August 18, 92025, before the Supreme State Security Prosecution in Case No. 6322 of 2025, constitutes the fourth case in which the aforementioned lawyer has been investigated. This pattern has caused distress and intimidation to her family.
