Four of the seven defendants in the Fairmont [redacted] assault case were each released on EGP 100k bail, pending further investigation as per a court decision, according to Masrawy. The Prosecutor General has appealed the decision to release the defendants, according to a statement. The assault, which took place in a Nile Fairmont suite in February 2014, first came to light last summer when the victim of the attack posted anonymous testimony online and filed a formal charge accusing the men of the assault. Five of the seven young men charged with perpetrating the assault were arrested late last year but two remain at large.
