The Supreme State Security Court is issuing its verdict on Bashar Abu Zeid, the alleged Jordanian spy, on 20 August.
Abu Zeid was not wearing the blue prison uniform although he was sentenced last year to one year in prison for insulting the court.
He and a fugitive Israeli Mossad officer are charged with eavesdropping on incoming and outgoing calls from Egypt for the Israeli Mossad to monitor stations of army and police forces.
