Egypt delays verdict in Al-Jazeera case
Print Edition
An Egyptian court yesterday postponed for a second time its verdict in the retrial of three Al-Jazeera journalists, rescheduling it for August 29.
The court had already put off its much anticipated verdict last Thursday because the judge was reportedly ill.
The judge at yesterday鈥檚 hearing said the verdict was delayed as other defendants could not be brought to the court room from their cells.
Australian Peter Greste, Canadian Mohammed Fahmy and Egyptian Baher Mohammed were jailed last year for 鈥渟preading false news鈥 that supported the blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood during their coverage of the turmoil after the army ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Fahmy, Baher and several other defendants were released on bail at the start of the retrial early this year, but at least one codefendant has been jailed in a separate case.
The Al-Jazeera case has embarrassed the government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who said he wishes the reporters were never put on trial.
