Elder of Ziyon
In one of the most painful incidents to have shaken Egyptian society, security services revealed the tragedy of a young woman, Badriya, who was held captive for six years by her family in a dark room, shackled, and subjected to inhumane conditions, in retaliation for what they considered "family honor."The 25-year-old girl lived years of torment inside a secret room in the family home in Giza Governorate.Her tragic story began after her ex-husband accused her of cheating on him and divorced her, which prompted her father to take the decision to imprison her, with the help of her half-brother and uncle, as punishment.The incident came to light when Badriay's mother decided to break her silence and report the family's crime. She informed security authorities of the location of the secret room, and officers stormed the house and found the girl in a deplorable state.According to security reports, the room was locked with an iron lock, and the girl lived there in complete isolation.During the investigations, Badriya said, "I was held in solitary confinement. They would bring me food and only let me out to use the bathroom. I lived in complete darkness and isolation for years."After the death of her father, who initiated her detention, her brother and uncle continued to confine her to the room, refusing her any chance of a normal life.The family claimed that the girl had "bad behavior" to justify their horrific crime.Security forces arrested those involved: her brother, her uncle, and her uncle's brother. During investigations, the defendants confessed to their crime, justifying their actions by claiming that the girl had "brought shame to the family" and that her detention was an attempt to prevent her from "repeating her shameful behavior," they said.
At least most Egyptians seem horrified.
