Article No. 302 of the Egyptian Criminal Procedure Code

Article No. 302 of the Criminal Procedure Code " The judge rules in the case, according to the opinion he formed in his own free will. However, he cannot base his judgment on evidence that did not submit to him during the hearing, and if the confession proves it was induced from one of the defendants or witnesses by duress or threat, it will not be admissible."
