Egypt's Highest Court Cancels Military Trials For MB Detainees
In a historic ruling, Egypt's administrative Court accepted on Tuesday an appeal filed by 33 Muslim Brotherhood members and more than 100 of their family members against the President's order to refere them MB detainees to a military court. The court ruled to cancel the President's decision and ordered the immediate release of all detainees and compensating them for their suffering.
The detainees have already been put to trial before the martial court and the first session was held on April 26th and was adjourned till June 3rd. The defence team did not attend the trail in protest against failure to notify them of the session date. The date of the first session was set just after Cairo Criminal Court ordered the release of the detainees. Thirty two Egyptian legal organizations called on Muslim Brotherhood to boycott the military trial to protest referral of civilians to a martial court.
