Port Said Criminal Court decided Saturday to postpone until Sunday the retrial of the defendants in the "Port Said stadium massacre" case.

The court's decision was taken by the court to hear the argument of the defense team.

Some 72 people were killed and 254 others wounded when Al Ahly fans were attacked during a match in Port Said Stadium in February 2012.

Investigations revealed that the defendants attacked the victims immediately after the match using knives and stones, threw some of them from the stands, and packed them into a small exit path while firing fireworks at them with deadly intent.
