Alt News received multiple requests to fact-check this claim on its app.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Where is the video from?<\/h1>\n

Alt News used a screenshot from the video and did a reverse image search on Google<\/a>. We found a report from December 1<\/a> on a website Teller Report <\/em>which wrote on the incident and quoted an\u00a0Al Jazeera <\/em>article from November 30, 2019<\/a>, as its source. <\/span>According to the Al Jazeera<\/em> report, a student committed suicide by jumping from Cairo Tower, Egypt.<\/span> The report identified the individual as an engineering student at Helwan University and said,<\/span>\u00a0“According to preliminary investigations conducted by the Egyptian authorities, the student was found to be in a bad psychological condition and informed his friend a few days ago of his intention to commit suicide.” <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On December 4, Al Jazeera<\/em> reported<\/a> that Egyptian Public Prosecutor, Hamada El-Sawy, announced that investigations will take place to identify who published the records of surveillance machines in Cairo Tower, related to the suicide case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Searching the keywords “Egypt Ciaro Tower Suicide” on YouTube, Alt News also found a video by BBC<\/em><\/a> with the title ” \u0641\u064a\u062f\u064a\u0648 \u0627\u0646\u062a\u062d\u0627\u0631 \u0637\u0627\u0644\u0628\u00a0 \u0645\u0635\u0631\u064a \u0645\u0646 \u0623\u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0628\u0631\u062c \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0627\u0647\u0631\u0629 \u064a\u062b\u064a\u0631 \u0636\u062c\u0629 (Google translate: A video of an Egyptian student committing suicide from the top of the Cairo Tower is making a fuss).” <\/em>Since this incident was reported, several people have tweeted using the hashtag \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0646\u062a\u062d\u0627\u0631_\u0645\u0646\u062a\u0634\u0631_\u0628\u0633\u0628\u0628<\/a> (Suicidal_ due to<\/span><\/span>) to express concern.
