| 2015-03-26 |
| [Iran Press TV] A court in Egypt has adjourned the trial of the country's first democratically-elected president, Mohammed Morsi, on charges of endangering national security by leaking state secrets to Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... . On Wednesday, the Cairo criminal court postponed the hearing of Morsi and 10 other Moslem Brüderbund defendants on charges of espionage and leaking classified documents to the Qatari intelligence and Aljazeera news network to March 26. The documents that the court accuses Morsi of leaking to Qatar allegedly include information on Egypt's army, military dispositions and armaments, as well as additional information on the country's domestic and foreign policies. Last September, Attorney General Hesham Barakat ordered the defendants to be referred to the court following investigations by the Supreme State Security Prosecution. Among the defendants are the former head of Morsi's office, Ahmed Abdel-Ati, and secretary Ameen al-Serafi, along with journalists from Arabic-language Aljazeera news network and Moslem Brüderbund's Misr 25 satellite channel. They will be sentenced to death if found guilty. |
