Imam Ayman Soliman speaks at an Oct. 18, 2025 rally in Cincinnati protesting the policies of the Trump administration.

A local imam is freed from jail 73 days after he was first detained. Ayman Soliman was arrested July 9 in Blue Ash during an ICE check-in.

Soliman says the conditions were as brutal as his detention in torture dungeons in Egypt.

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss his release and his asylum case.
