Cairo Criminal Court under counselor Mohamed Fahmy adjourned to August 14 the retrial of former President Mohamed Morsi and leaders of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood (MB) group on charges of organizing a jailbreak, attacking security facilities and killing policemen following the January 25 revolution in 2011.
Morsi and the other defendants had escaped from Wadi el Natroun prison in January 2011 in collusion with elements affiliated to Palestinian group Hamas, the MB's international organization, Lebanon's Hezbollah militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
In June 2015, Cairo Criminal Court had sentenced Morsi, MB supreme guide Mohamed Badie and four more MB leaders to death, and sentenced twenty others to life imprisonment.
About a year later, the Court of Cassation quashed the death and imprisonment sentences against Morsi and 25 other defendants, ordering a retrial.
