unauthorized rallies in Alexandria ahead of the upcoming legislative elections

According to the Middle East News Agency (MENA), the District Attorney for
Alexandria's Appeal Court Yassr Refaei noted that the arrestees were shouting
forbidden slogans, which aimed to disrupt peace, adding that the individuals
