The Public Prosecution ordered the detention of six defendants pending investigations in case No. 8083 of 2026, concerning the Supreme State Security, accusing them of joining a banned group, managing and feeding the "Motsadqesh" electronic platform to spread rumors and false news, and receiving financial funding in foreign currency from abroad.

The Public Prosecution had received investigations from the National Security Sector indicating that leaders of the Brotherhood group abroad had issued assignments to their cadres to create electronic platforms and pages, including the "Motsadqesh" page, to use them in inciting public discontent, questioning the performance of state institutions and their officials, and pushing towards gatherings and protests.

Based on a warrant issued by the Public Prosecution, security agencies arrested six individuals responsible for managing the page and working with it inside the country, including a journalist registered with the Journalists' Syndicate.

The Public Prosecution indicated that one of the defendants admitted during his interrogation to his affiliation and that of the other detainees to the media committee of the group, and that they received assignments via secure communication applications to implement a media plan aimed at highlighting negatives and amplifying sectoral crises. He also admitted that the workers on the page received monthly funding in US dollars through bank transfers from a company owned by a fugitive leader abroad.

On their part, the other defendants admitted to working on the platform and receiving periodic payments from abroad, while most of them denied joining the group, except for one defendant who stated that he had separated from it before joining the page.

The technical examination of the phones and accounts revealed the existence of closed groups and electronic communication with the fugitive leader, in addition to posting messages calling for the overthrow of the regime, which was confirmed by the technical examination of the journalist defendant's account despite his denial of it.

Regarding the legal and health procedures, the prosecution confirmed that the interrogation took place in the presence of the defendants' lawyer and a representative from the Journalists' Syndicate, noting that three defendants who claimed to have been subjected to harsh treatment were referred to the forensic authority, which confirmed in its reports that they were completely free of any injuries or signs indicating the use of violence against them.

The public prosecution decided to continue the defendants' detention pending the case, while investigations continue to uncover all aspects of the mentioned scheme.
