Egyptian director Youssef Chahin was flown to France this morning after he fell into a coma after suffering a brain hemorrhaging.
Chahin is currently in the American hospital in Paris and with him is his niece Marianne.
Chahin, 82, fell ill while working on his last movie 'Hia Fawdha' -Chaos- in 2007 and hasn't regained his health since.
According to doctors, his situation is critical and due to his age might get even worse!

We at Waleg.com wish him a speedy recovery ... our prayers go out to his family.

Chahin is well known internationally for his brave choice of topics and controversial movies.
His last movie 'Hia Fawdha' -Chaos-, which is about police brutality, was miraculously allowed by censors!
