- The Sohag Bar Association suspended lawyer Loaa Khalf on June 11, 2026, pending disciplinary proceedings, citing violations of the advocacy law and social media practices.
- Khalf said the suspension was due to her personal appearance and not wearing the hijab, and that the bar should not impose dress standards.
- The general bar's assistant secretary general, Abu Bakr Dawah, said the case has not been referred to the general bar and that the bar requires only modest attire, not a specific dress code.
- Businessman Naguib Sawiris called the decision an infringement on personal freedom, and lawyer Nihad Abul Qomsan said the bar's statement used terms not found in the advocacy law.
