Founder and director of Tanmia Publishing House. He was arrested in April 2018 in connection with publishing a translated Arabic version of the book “The Angel”, which tells the story of Ashraf Marawan, son-in-law of the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser. He was summoned to the Military Prosecution in April 2018 and interrogated on the charge of broadcasting a defense secret through his circulation of the Angel book, which contains some war, diplomatic and political information, and deliberately broadcast through the book false news and statements about the truth about the victory of the armed forces in the October War, distorting the image and history of former leaders, and distorting the image of the General Intelligence. A military court in Eastern Military Misdemeanor Case No. 1298 of 2018 sentenced him in October 2019 to five years in prison, and was upheld by the Military Appeals Court in February 2019, and again in December 2019 by the Military Court of Cassation.
