Arrest during 2019 Egyptian protests
[edit]Following video releases by Mohamed Ali in September 2019 accusing Sisi of corruption and calling for anti-Sisi street protests, Dawoud called for investigations of the corruption claims. He was arrested on 25 September 2019, after protests across Egypt started on 21 and 22 September.[8] On 14 April 2020, Dawoud was released from jail.[9]
