Egypt court orders Morsi's children attend US citizenship revocation hearing
[Al Ahram] Egypt's Supreme Administrative Court's State Commissioners Authority on Thursday ordered that President Mohamed Morsi's son and daughter attend the hearing on a lawsuit demanding the revocation of their US citizenship.
This comes as part of a lawsuit filed in 2012 by Attorney Mohamed Salem --following Morsi's presidential election--to force his two children to renounce their US citizenship, which they acquired at birth in the 1980's when Morsi was a professor.
The state commissioners postponed the hearing until 30 May and issued a LE400 fine to the head of Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs judicial department for delaying the document coordination process with the US State Department.
A similar case filed by lawyer Tarek Mahmoud in 2012 argued that their passport can be a means by which the US can conspire against Egypt.
