The State Security Investigations Department has released Shaykh Abū Yahyá who claimed that Kāmīliyā Shihātah converted to Islam in front of him.
Persons close to Abū Yahyá believe that he was arrested to prevent him from testifying before the prosecution regarding the reports accusing the police of kidnapping Kāmīliyā in front of the Azhar before she would declare her conversion to Islam.
