Egyptian actress Wafaa Amer is facing new allegations of organ trafficking after lawyer Hany Awad, representing Mostafa Ahmed Selim, filed a complaint with the Public Prosecutor against Wafaa Amer, an Egyptian producer, and several public figures, accusing them of involvement in organ trafficking activities.

The prosecution heard the testimony of the victim, who revealed that he was scammed by a person who pretended he would employ him at a company. He was asked to undergo medical tests and was later pressured to donate a kidney to another person, allegedly with the collaboration of Wafaa Amer and Laila Al-Shabah.

Bringing Other Victims

The victim described the incident: “I came from Asyut to Cairo in search of work. Since I had no place to stay, I went to Al-Sayeda Zeinab Mosque, where I was surprised to find the first accused sitting next to me, asking about my situation and offering me a job. I went with him to an apartment in the Nasiriyah area of Al-Sayeda Zeinab, where I stayed for two weeks. He provided me with daily expenses and brought in other people in similar circumstances.”

He added: “Later, he told me that the company I was to join required medical tests. After completing them, he said company circumstances prevented me from working there. Instead, he offered me to do a ‘humanitarian act’—donate my kidney to a person with kidney failure in exchange for financial compensation—assuring me there would be no health or legal risks. Due to my illiteracy and difficult circumstances, I agreed and went with him to a hospital in Heliopolis, where preparations for the operation began.”

The victim continued: “An hour before the operation, actress Wafaa Amer arrived with food and visited the apartment several times, providing meals and daily allowances. Another actress also came, assuring me that they would not leave me and would secure my life, providing me with a car and an apartment. The operation lasted from 9 PM until noon the next day. Afterwards, I was told I would receive the agreed-upon payment upon leaving the hospital. My treatment continued for six days, and when I was discharged, none of them were present.”

Demanding His Rights

The victim added that he had to return to Asyut to continue his treatment and continued searching for the first accused via social media until he managed to contact him. They met at a private rest house, where he was forced to sign promissory notes and pledge not to contact anyone after locating him.

He concluded: “I was detained for some time and convinced to work with them until I received my dues. I witnessed other similar cases to what happened in the Nasiriyah apartment. They also tried to involve me in trafficking counterfeit currency and delivering it to people in hotels, similar to what the seventh accused did at a bazaar called ‘Al-Sultan’ in Mansouria, but I refused.”
