South Giza criminal court sentenced a hashish trafficker to five years in prison

Security forces had stopped the man on a local road and found four large pieces
of hashish on him, suspecting he was supplying the illicit market.[1][2] They
took legal action, recorded the seizure, and the public prosecution investigated
and examined the drugs before referring him to the criminal court, which handed
down the five-year term.[1][2] The opened accounts do not name him or report
any co-defendants.[1][2]
