Mariam Amr Habashi was arrested on July 19, 2017 from Tahrir Square after an altercation with a security officer. She was presented before the prosecution of the Nile Palace and was investigated under case No. 732 of 2018, Supreme State Security . She was charged with demonstrating, distributing publications, and spreading false news. Despite the fact that she is a 17-year-old minor and should be brought before the juvenile prosecutor, the prosecution decided to imprison her for a month. She was referred to the State Security Prosecution, and then transferred to the Abu Atata Correctional Home. She was released with precautionary measures on July 9, 2018, and the measures were cancelled on July 31, 2019. It is worth mentioning that her lawyer requested that she be admitted to the psychiatric and neurological hospital because of her condition: She became afflicted with symptoms of severe depression and mental disorders, due to lupus. She also tried to commit suicide more than once before and after her arrest, and during her confinement in the Department of Nile Palace, and the Correctional Abu Atata.
