Praise be to God, the penalty imposed on me has been officially suspended, and the sentence imposed on me has been reduced from four years in prison to two years in prison with a stay of execution.

October 10, 2014 

Praise be to God, the penalty imposed on me has been officially suspended, and the penalty imposed on me has been reduced from four years in prison to two years in prison with a stay of execution. However, the decision regarding my return to service or my referral to retirement has not been decided, and I have not been promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, which I was supposed to be promoted to since January 2013. The charges against me were as follows:

1- Failure to obey military orders issued to him to return to his unit.
2- Expressing political opinions through the internet and the media.
3- Being present in his military capacity with the demonstrators in Tahrir Square and speaking in that capacity with the media.
4- Creating a Facebook page calling on members of the armed forces to go to Tahrir Square to join the protesters
5- Absence from the unit from 23/11/2011 until his arrest on 8/12/2011, a period of absence of 16 days.
6- He posted videos on YouTube in which he appeared in his military capacity and his speech included criticisms and opinions about the SCAF's management of the country.
7- He took actions that would weaken the spirit of military order, obedience and respect for superiors in the armed forces through the media. His statements included an objection to the military council, demanding their dismissal, which would weaken the spirit of military order, obedience to superiors and respect for them.
8- Appearing online on YouTube without being authorised to do so.

In any case, thank God
