The security forces have arrested Zayed when he mediated for the release of one of his relatives who was arrested by suspect, and a record was written, but the journalist was surprised by being charged with four accusations, which are : the attempt to help a defendant to escape, resisting authorities, assaulting a police officer and assaulting a civil servant during performing his duties, so the prosecution held him in custody for four days, and a decision was issued on Saturday to refer him to the trial before Al Omrania Criminal Court.
