Egypt’s Minister of Interior Mahmoud Tawfiq said on 21 October during the “Homeland and Citizen Security” session at Egypt Forum 2026 that the public has the right to know the results of investigations into complaints and videos shared on social media, stressing that the ministry seeks to balance transparency with the protection of privacy. Tawfiq said complaints shared publicly online can extend beyond personal grievances to become matters of public concern, particularly when they involve incidents that may affect public security. He noted that complaints posted on social media must be verified, as some may be fabricated, misleading, or taken out of context. “The public has the right to know what happened with these complaints,” Tawfiq said, explaining that the ministry publishes the results of its examinations on its official social media pages, alongside the original complaint or video and an explanation of the findings.
