Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Reliability tier 3: a community edited tertiary encyclopedia account of the statute, cited for its basic description rather than for interpretive analysis, one step below a professionally edited reference source.
Notes
A tertiary encyclopedia account of Egypt's Penal Code Article 98(f), tracing it to a 1981 amendment following the Al Zawya Al Hamra sectarian violence, itself amended by Law 147 of 2006, penalizing contempt of the three heavenly religions with six months to five years imprisonment or a fine of 500 to 1,000 Egyptian pounds. Consulted directly; not a primary legal text.
