Protesters block railway, road and surround security directorate in Gharbiya's Kafr El-Zayyat over woman's disappearance

Hundreds of people besieged the security directorate in Gharbiya's Kafr El-Zayyat on Wednesday over the alleged disappearance of a woman in nearby Asdima village.

The woman, G.A, 24, a housewife, is believed to have disappeared on Tuesday afternoon after she did not return home from a trip to the market and her phone was turned off.

Clashes began earlier in the night when protesters blocked the Kafr El-Zayyat-Tanta railway with burning tires. The protesters were angry at the alleged inefficiency of the security forces in searching for the woman.

Protesters also blocked the main Alexandria-Cairo agricultural road, which prompted security forces to threaten to use tear gas to disperse them
