Serious Crime, State Security and Terrorism

State security and terrorism cases are among the gravest and most delicate in criminal law, given the seriousness of the charges and the weight of what follows from them. The office of Counsellor Ashraf Shoeib, Lawyer before the Court of Cassation, handles these matters with the highest professional standards, drawing on wide experience of complex files that demand precision and a working knowledge of the national security and counter-terrorism statutes.

Our work in this area includes:

• Defence in membership and affiliation cases — representing those accused of joining or belonging to proscribed groups, whether the allegation concerns membership, financing, logistical support or incitement. The focus is on exposing gaps in the evidence and answering the charge as the law requires.
• Terrorism offences, including allegations of bombings and attacks on persons or facilities.
• Proceedings before the State Security Prosecution, including attendance at investigations and applications concerning pre-trial detention.
• Espionage and disclosure of state secrets.
