Allegations concerning the arrest, detention and charges to be brought against a journalist and human rights defender. According to the information received, in October 2015, Mr. Hossam Bahgat published a number of articles on the Egyptian military. On 8 November 2015, Mr. Bahgat appeared before military intelligence for interrogation in compliance with a summons issued to him. He was subsequently arrested and transferred to the Office of the Military Prosecutor, where he was further interrogated about his written work. He reportedly remains in detention in an unknown location pending investigation and has not been charged. Grave concern is expressed that the alleged motivation for his arrest and detention relates to his legitimate exercise of his rights to freedom of opinion and expression.
