Lofty was arrested and imprisoned on charges of false news and divulging military secrets for translating and distributing The Angel: The Egyptian Spy Who Saved Israel, a book by an Israeli author. He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2018, and his appeal was rejected. He was released on November 19, 2022. The Supreme Military Appeals Court postponed its decision 11 times before upholding his sentence in December 2019, highlighting the opaque and arbitrary nature of military judicial proceedings.
