A distraught Egyptian lawyer divested himself of his attire in front of a courthouse on one of Cairo’s most busy streets after losing a case, according to the lawyer’s relatives. 

The relatives told the prosecutor general, who had begun questioning the lawyer, that he had lost all of his cases. 

The 37-year-old lawyer took off all his clothes and burned them in front of pedestrians and motorists. He was then apprehended by the police and transported to the police station, later to appear before the prosecutor general. 

Judiciary sources said that the depressed lawyer had failed to win a single case in the course of his career, leading him to believe there was a conspiracy against him - Albawaba.com
