Khaberni - An Egyptian blogger named "Basent Soliman" ended her life by jumping from the thirteenth floor of a residential tower in the Smouha area of Alexandria in a live broadcast via "Reels" on Facebook.
Social media users widely shared the video, showing the blogger "Basent" standing on the balcony of her residence in the Smouha area of Alexandria, delivering a final message before her departure: "Take care of my kids".
The girl appeared in a disturbed psychological state during the broadcast, showing signs of sadness and psychological exhaustion before suddenly ending her life, amidst a state of shock and inability on the part of the viewers who watched the final moments.
Immediately, the security forces moved to the scene of the incident, and the body was transported to the hospital under the disposition of the Public Prosecutor's Office, which commenced investigations to determine the circumstances of the incident, while the content of the live broadcast and all related details are being examined.
Security in Alexandria intensified their investigations into the incident of a girl ending her life at dawn on Sunday, in Smouha, after she threw herself from the balcony of an apartment in a building on the thirteenth floor during a "live broadcast" on her personal social media page "Facebook".
The girl in her final words said: "God is sufficient for me against gossip, backbiting, and false accusations... God is sufficient and the best trustee for those I assumed would support me and found no support from them".
She also wrote in a post prior to the broadcast: "Take care of my kids", before she climbed the railing and disappeared from view, which was followed by the sound of screams and a violent crash, indicating that she breathed her last after falling, amidst unsuccessful attempts by social media users to dissuade her through comments.
Eyewitnesses around the incident reported the initial moments; the incident coincided with dawn prayers, leading to a large gathering of worshippers from the mosque located beneath the building. Eyewitnesses also noted they heard a loud crash early in the morning, initially thinking it was caused by moving goods at a nearby electrical store, only to be surprised by a security presence and ambulances beneath the building.
Security forces in Alexandria within the jurisdiction of Sidi Gaber police department are intensifying their efforts to fully determine the circumstances of the incident, and the body was transported to the morgue under the discretion of the investigative authorities, and the necessary legal proceedings were initiated.
Dr. Maya Morsi, the Egyptian Minister of Social Solidarity, commented on the incident of a mother's death due to pressures she faced, describing what happened as a "final cry of pain" before death, warning that the mother reaching this state due to injustice and obstinacy is a dangerous indicator.
Morsi said that the mother ended her life over a possible dispute about the apartment she lived in with her daughters, emphasizing that the custody apartment is not just walls but dignity and stability for the mother. Depriving them of their housing is a disgrace.
She also referred to another incident where a mother and her children died because the father refused to provide for them, leaving them in need, emphasizing that financial and emotional extortion and misuse of the law is a crime that must be severely punished.
She emphasized that the child's right to housing and support should not be compromised or used to settle scores.
Morsi criticized the delay in justice, describing it as injustice, and called for the protection of women's and children's rights.
In conclusion, she urged everyone to be merciful to the young and to refrain from sharing the mother's name, publishing videos of the incident, or accessing her personal accounts to protect their privacy.
