Khaberni - The Egyptian girl "Aysel" was not just a seven-year-old child; she was a small dream for her family walking on earth, memorized the Quran, loved her school, and her handwriting impressed her teachers. She wanted to become a doctor, study medicine in Germany, and then come back to open a charitable center for treating those who cannot afford it.

But all this ended in the summer of 2023, when "Aysel" was spending a vacation with her family in one of the villages in Ain Sokhna, and while playing with her friend, a student at an international school took advantage of her mother's absence for a few minutes after she went to the restroom with her younger sister, and committed his crime against the child.

The student had been watching "Aysel" for a while during her presence in the pool, and as soon as the mother was absent, he pulled her into the pool, causing her to lose her ability to breathe, which resulted in her suffering a cardiac arrest, and he sexually assaulted her "harassed her under the water and caused her a cardiac arrest".

Two years after the incident, a first-degree criminal court sentenced the accused child to 15 years in prison for assaulting "Aysel" and ending her life.

"Aysel's" mother pleaded in a post on her Facebook page, to the President of the Republic and the relevant authorities, to amend the juvenile law to have deterrent sentences especially when crimes involve assaults on children, recommending a death sentence by hanging, saying "President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, as a father I beg you to try by any means to amend the juvenile law, at least in cases like Aysel's."
