Al Jazeera journalists trial adjourned in Egypt
A Cairo court on Monday adjourned the trial of three Al Jazeera television journalists for four days after hearing the prosecution’s closing argument that their reporting had endangered Egypt’s national security.
The three were arrested in December 2013 and originally sentenced to between seven and 10 years in prison on charges including spreading lies to help a terrorist organisation.
Egypt’s high court ordered a retrial in January and Fahmy and Mohamed were released on bail in February, shortly after Greste was deported.
The three journalists, whose case prompted an international outcry, were arrested after several months of protests by Muslim Brotherhood supporters against the ousting of Islamist president Mohamed Mursi.
Egyptian authorities accuse Qatar-based Al Jazeera of being a mouthpiece of the Brotherhood, which was outlawed as a terrorist organisation after then army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi unseated Mursi following mass protests against his rule.
The court will hear the defence’s closing arguments in the June 4 session.
