Restrictions: Asset Freeze |
Mostafa el Hassan is a lawyer and head of the Hisham Mubarak Law Center, a Cairo-based legal organisation promoting human rights and legally supporting victims of human rights violations in Egypt.
His assets and those of the organisation were frozen in September 2016 as he was accused of establishing an organisation in violation of the NGO law and illegally receiving foreign funding in case 173/2011, known as the foreign funding case. He was added to the list of defendants, together with other human rights activists, in April 2016, then he was summoned and questioned again in case 173/2011 in April 2017, and subsequently released on bail on the same day.
