Egypt's prosecution enables Braille access to investigation documents

Egypt's Public Prosecution has begun operating a Braille printer enabling visually impaired persons to review investigation documents at prosecution offices nationwide.

• The prosecution announced the service through its Child, Disability, and Elderly Protection Office, coinciding with White Cane Day on October 15.
• The service covers visually impaired persons appearing before prosecutors as victims, witnesses, or defendants.
• The prosecution printed booklets containing Law No. 10 of 2018 on persons with disabilities and its executive regulations in Braille.
• The booklets and a guide to prosecution services, prepared with the German Agency for International Cooperation, were distributed to the National Council for Persons with Disabilities and the social solidarity and youth ministries.
