The Cairo Criminal Court decided on Monday to postpone the trial of Brotherhood leading figures Mohamed al-Beltagy and Safwat Hegazy as well as Mohamed Mahmoud Ali Zenati and Abdel Azim Ibrahim, the Rabaa al-Adaweya field hospital doctors, to 11 June.
They are charged with kidnapping, detaining and torturing two policemen in the Muslim Brotherhood sit-in of Rabaa al-Adaweya Square.
The court postponed in order to hear the testimonies of witnesses and for the defense to attend.
All defendants attended the session though their defense team was not present.
Prosecutors presented evidence that the defendants beat the policemen while they were securing a Muslim Brotherhood march, dragged them to the square and tortured them, causing them severe injuries, before the Eastern Nasr City municipality director convinced the protesters to release them.
Witnesses confirmed the evidence.
