Ruling in Egypt trial of Al Jazeera journalists set for July 30

An Egyptian court said on Monday it would issue a ruling on July 30 in the retrial of two Al Jazeera television journalists previously sentenced to seven to 10 years in prison.
 
Mohamed Fahmy, a naturalised Canadian who has given up his Egyptian citizenship, and Egyptian Baher Mohamed were previously charged with aiding a terrorist organization, a reference to the banned Muslim Brotherhood.
 
A third Al Jazeera journalist, Australian Peter Greste, was deported in February.
