In a development raising concerns about the treatment of cultural icons, Ahmed Abdelrahman Abu Zahra revealed the details of the tax freeze imposed on his father’s bank account. The family was shocked, especially since the account contains only his pension. ⚠️

📌 Tax demand and account freeze
Ahmed said they were surprised by a tax demand dating back to 2021 for large sums, despite his father not working or appearing in any projects for nearly five years. The family had been unable to respond due to busy schedules and living abroad, but the shock came when they learned the amounts demanded and that the account was frozen.

📌 “If only he had assets”
Ahmed explained that his father’s account only holds his pension, not enough even for medication, and said:
“If he had assets, they would have seized them.”
He added that his father is deeply upset because he has never asked anyone for help and only wants to spend his remaining days in peace. 💔

🩺 Health update and retirement
Regarding his health, Ahmed confirmed that his father is relatively stable but will not return to acting, often repeating:
“This is not our time anymore.”

🔔 Tax Authority intervention
In a surprising move, the head of the Tax Authority decided to lift the freeze immediately, in recognition of his contributions, and will personally follow up on his tax file. This follows directives from the Minister of Finance to remove obstacles and facilitate tax procedures.

📌 Is this enough?
The issue raises a key question: should veteran artists be treated harshly despite their long service, and can there be a more humane system for handling old cases, especially for elderly individuals needing care and peace?
