The two accused of killing the journalist, Shaima Gamal, appeared before the Giza Criminal Court, wearing the white uniform, which is the clothes of pre-trial detention, since there are no criminal judgments registered once morest them so far.
But what is the story of the prisoners’ clothes colors?
The white suit known as the pre-trial detention uniform that distinguishes the accused in that phase of litigation, is the first thing that the accused wears immediately upon his arrest and put him in prison, even if judicial rulings have been issued once morest him in absentia. White, known for its purity and purity, was specially chosen for those held in pretrial detention.
The blue suit is a very old suit dating back to the English occupation of Egypt, and the blue color was chosen specifically because it tolerated all dirt and dirt, and it was dyed with a strong blue dye called “indigo”, especially since the prisoners’ clothes were not cleaned on a daily basis, and even the migrant workers were wearing Blue robes for the same purpose.
The blue suit, which is the most popular at all, because it is the traditional uniform, in which most of the defendants convicted in different cases spend their lives in prisons. For the number of years spent on the accused, but one sentence of imprisonment is sufficient for him to become his official uniform.
The red suit is the most exciting among the three suits, because it is associated with the death penalty. It is not clear why it is red, but it seems that its color was chosen to be eye-catching and one of the strong colors to distinguish the accused, who wear it from the rest of the accused, given that they are one of the most dangerous elements in prisons. And that is following a death sentence was passed condemning him, so the attention is directed to them all the time amid continuous monitoring of their behavior and actions, and the history of that suit dates back to nearly 60 years, and before that, the person sentenced to death was not distinguished by clothing because he was moving in a private place with heavy security and was monitored all the time.
