Trial adjourned. AGAIN!
February 1st, 2007News from Dalia Ziada, an Egyptian blogger and human rights activist working on Kareem’s case:
The trial is adjourned to 22 Feb. The defense memorundum must be submitted within one week.
The judge decided not to listen to oral defense because the two sides (the extremists and our lawyers) were about to fight with each other today!
The earlier update from Dalia:
Kareem is in a very bad situation. Do you remember the extremist lawyer who filed a claim against Kareem during the last session? He is now supported with other ten lawyers.
Our lawyers told me that they descriped Kareem as a disbeliever. This offended our lawyers and made them threaten the other lawyers to be charged with defamation if they continued to describe Kareem as a disbeliever, and the court accepted our lawyers’ demand to respect Kareem.
On the other hand, Kareem’s lawyers insisted on their demands announced last session which included without limitation to having experts from the country at which Rezgar website is operated. The judges are expecting the sentence now.
