Mother calls on Ireland to issue Interpol Red Notice to recover kidnapped children from Egypt

Interpol is open to abuse and weaponisation by vindictive and dangerous spouses.

An Irish mother urged the government to issue an Interpol Red Notice against her Egyptian husband, Ramy Gamal Maamoun Mohamed, who locked Mandy Kelly in an apartment while on holiday in Egypt and abducted their children.

Since the event, Ms Kelly has been awarded custody of her two children in both Ireland and Egypt, but her husband is in hiding.

Interpol & Extradition expert, Radha Stirling, has dealt with multiple cases of international child abduction over the past decade. “Ms Kelly is fortunate that Egyptian authorities have agreed with the findings of the Irish courts and wish for her to be reunited with her children. In other cases, we’ve seen courts in the Middle East usually side with the first person to apply for a custody order and they tend to favour the father”, explained Ms Stirling, founder of Detained in Dubai.
