found in custody of the FBI after disappearing without a trace for several days

A young Egyptian studying in California was reportedly found in custody of the FBI after disappearing without a trace for several days.

Emad El Sayed disappeared on the morning of 12 February 2016 without anyone knowing why.

For more than a week, family members and friends were left perplexed and worried about the 23-year-old.

“My brother Emad El Sayed who has been missing for a while was apprehended by FBI, for sharing a post that was against the U.S candidate Donald Trump, as ridiculous as it may sound, yes it is in fact the reason why he was put under arrest,” wrote El Sayed’s sister on Facebook.

Meanwhile, according to his sister Ohoud Ali, Emad was denied of all of his rights to a lawyer during his detention, explaining why no one had heard of his whereabouts for days at a time.
