An Egyptian citizen has found one more way out of the political and economic deterioration in addition to constitutionalizatin of human rights violations in the Egypt: committing suicide.
 
The Egyptian deteriorating economic and political situations made a citizen from a popular region in central Cairo try to commit suicide by throwing himself in the River Nile. The citizen went to Qasr Al-Neel bridge and throw himself into the Nile after leaving a small note, but he was rescued by a passerby.
 
It was 1.00PM at noon when passers-by saw at Qasr Al-Neel Bridge a young man taking off his clothes and- out of a sudden- throwing himself into the river; amid their screams and calls for help, a worker from Misr Al-Qadima called Said Mohamed Zaki, 39 years, , jumped into the water and rescued this man.
 
Lieutenant Colonel Mahmoud Abouamra, Qasr Al-Neel police chief, made initial investigations into the incident; the victim is called Mohamed Abdul Rahim, 35 years from Rod Al-Farag; he failed to find a job opportunity and he had a chronic disease in chest and he can’t afford the costs of treatment; his life became unbearable.
 
It was revealed later in the police report no. 4925 that the victim suffered after that from an acute psychological crisis; so he complained to god of the government in a small note and attempted to commit suicide.
