Tenants who allege violent assault have second man added to action

Summary

In a High Court case, three Egyptian tenants—Mostafa Elsayed Morshedy Elsayed Faraag, Gomaa Rashed Ahmed Arafa and Hussein Mohamed Hussein Mahmoud—claim they were violently assaulted by a group of up to 20 men on 13 December 2022 while renting a Dublin apartment. They say the attackers broke wooden chairs on their bodies, damaged their possessions and left the apartment in a "war zone" state. The tenants allege the assault was intended to force them to vacate the property, which they had rented since October 2021 for one year with an option to extend and paid rent in cash. They argue they were entitled to 30 days' notice of termination, which was not given. A judge granted them permission to add Mr Tony Tang Le (or Lee) as an additional defendant, while the injunction against the owner, Mr Xia Ping He, remains in place.
