South Cairo Criminal Court on Thursday postponed the trial of two Muslim Brotherhood lawyers charged with insulting the Supreme Constitutional Court.
Former MP Nasser Salem al-Hafy and Abdel Moneim Abdel Maqsoud are on trial for accusing the court of improper proceedings in the case that dissolved the People's Assembly in June.
Hafy and Abdel Maqsoud filed a complaint with the Public Prosecution in June saying the court had sent a copy of the ruling to state-run newspapers before the verdict was issued, indicating it had a pre-determined outcome. The prosecution denied the claim following investigations and accused Hafy and Abdel Maqsoud of insulting the court.
