Association with the Muslim Brotherhood

Tareq Ghandour, after becoming acquainted with the Muslim Brotherhood and joining the group, was elected in 2011 CE as one of the leaders of the Freedom and Justice Party. He strove for this country and to save the lives of hundreds of young people who had been injured by security bullets. His efforts did not end there; rather, in all demonstrations, he helped the young people who were protesting against the military regime and were injured. He was even one of the main doctors of the Rabaa al-Adawiya Square hospital; as he was the one who, during the sit-in of supporters of Mohamed Morsi, the ousted president, was allowed to interview with foreign media.

Imprisonment

When the military coup against the elected president Mohamed Morsi took place on 3 July 2013 CE, the people of Egypt rose up against this coup, but Morsi was ready to strike all opponents with an iron fist and killed thousands and pursued and arrested thousands of Egyptians who protested against him. Injustice waved in all streets of the country until Dr. Tareq Ghandour was pursued, who was not safe from the attack of security forces, and was arrested and thrown into prison in his home on 18 December 2013 CE. He was arrested on charges of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, amidst the joy of coup supporters by his colleagues at the Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, and all his money and property were stolen and his private hospital was confiscated. He was presented to the court where the judge sentenced him to 5 years in prison, and on 14 December 2014 CE, the Nasr City Criminal Court confirmed Ghandour's 5-year prison sentence despite his death one month before the verdict, due to charges and unauthorized demonstrations and destruction of public property, by raising the Rabaa al-Adawiya slogan.

Interview with his wife on a satellite network

After Tareq Ghandour was acquitted of the case he was charged with, his wife told one of the satellite networks: I did not realize the news of my husband's innocence and his release after death, and we considered him a martyr with God from the time of his death, and we expect nothing from them even if he had received this acquittal before his death. We were not satisfied with that verdict because there are thousands of oppressed people in prisons.

Death

Dr. Tareq Ghandour died on Wednesday, 1443 AH (2021–2022 CE) after physical deterioration and liver disease inside the prison and being deprived of treatment and the negligence of the "Shibin al-Kom" prison management in transferring him to the hospital; led to his death. His funeral was held in his hometown, the village of Senfa, Mit Ghamr Center, where thousands of Egyptians gathered to participate in his funeral. The General Syndicate of Physicians offered condolences on the death of Dr. Tareq Ghandour.
