The Itay El-Baroud Court in Beheira Governorate has decided to postpone the appeal hearing filed by the defense of the defendant in the case of assaulting Yassin, a student at Al-Karma Private School in Damanhour.
The appeal challenges a prior life imprisonment sentence issued against the defendant. The new hearing is scheduled for Sunday, July 21, amid intense anticipation from the child’s family and a closely watching public still following the developments of this deeply emotional case.

Yassin Continues Recovery… Family Awaits Full Justice
Since the tragic incident, young Yassin has been undergoing continuous psychological support under professional supervision to help him overcome the trauma of the assault—an act that left a deep shock on both him and his family.
Despite the initial life sentence, the family remains anxious until the verdict is confirmed through the higher stages of litigation. They emphasize that they will not back down from seeking full justice, stressing that what happened was nothing short of a brutal violation of innocent childhood within an educational environment.

Neighbors Caught Between Prayers and Uncertainty
In another emotionally charged scene, one of the defendant’s neighbors expressed hope for the truth to prevail, saying:
“May God guide both families… We’re waiting to see what will happen. We don’t know if the ruling will be upheld or postponed again, but we trust in the fairness of the judiciary. God knows what’s in everyone’s hearts.”
Such comments reflect the emotional and social tension left by the case—not only within the victim’s family but also in the defendant’s community.
Yassin’s Legal Team Requests Case Transfer to Alexandria Court
Lawyer Tarek El-Awadi, representing Yassin, previously confirmed that he had submitted a formal request to transfer the appeal hearings to the Alexandria Court. He emphasized the need for an impartial and independent judicial environment, especially given the psychological pressure surrounding the case and its wide circulation on social media.
According to him, a calmer and more neutral court setting is necessary to ensure a fair trial.

“Al-Karma School” Case Becomes a Symbol for Children’s Rights
The case dates back to accusations against an employee at Al-Karma Private School in Damanhour of sexually assaulting Yassin within school premises—an incident that sparked national outrage and led to swift action by authorities, resulting in the defendant being referred to trial and sentenced to life in prison.
The case received widespread solidarity from Damanhour residents and child rights organizations, who demanded firm application of the law to protect children in educational institutions.

Cautious Anticipation for Tomorrow’s Hearing
As tomorrow’s session draws near, the child’s family is living through difficult moments—torn between hope for a final ruling and fear of legal surprises that may alter the course of the case.
Meanwhile, many voices are calling for expedited proceedings so the family can receive their rightful justice and society can feel reassured that the law truly safeguards its most vulnerable: its children.

Awaiting the judiciary’s word, all eyes remain fixed on the Itay El-Baroud Court tomorrow morning, as the decisive hearing unfolds in one of the most sensitive cases of recent months.
