CAIRO, July 30 (UPI) -- An Egyptian court postponed the announcement of the verdict in the trial of three journalists accused of supporting the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
Another session of the Cairo court is expected next week in the trial of Mohamed Fahmy, Baher Mohamed and Peter Greste, journalists of the Dubai-based Al-Jazeera satellite news network, which said it was "extremely angry" over the delay. The three men and the network contend the journalists were simply doing their jobs when they were arrested in 2013; they were convicted, Reste and Fahmy sentenced to seven years imprisonment and Mohamed to 10 years. A new trial was authorized by an appeals court in January 2015, but proceedings were delayed.
