An Egyptian appeals court has scheduled a hearing for July 22 to consider Kroan Mashakel's appeal against his two-year prison sentence for publishing an indecent TikTok video.

• The Alexandria Economic Court had upheld the two-year prison sentence and a 200,000 Egyptian pound fine against Kroan Mashakel for publishing a video that violated public decency.
• Security authorities transferred Kroan Mashakel from Cairo to Alexandria to serve the sentence after the court rejected his objection and confirmed the ruling.
• The appeals court will hear the case on July 22, 2026.
