Sami Anan’s son under investigation for criticizing the state

The Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport has suspended and is investigating Sami Anan’s son, Samir, for allegedly posting tweets critical of the state, Al Shorouk reports. A lawyer had filed a report to the Prosecutor General against Samir, who is a professor at the academy, for “inciting public opinion” against the state. Samir claimed in several tweets that a fake account using his name had been posting provocative statements against the state, and that he had reported the account, which now appears to have been deactivated.
