Alaa Abdel Fattah

Cairo Criminal Court has adjourned until January 10 the trial of political activist Alaa Abdel Fattah and 24 other defendants held in connection with riot incidents that followed a protest outside the Shura Council in November last year.
The defendants face charges of blocking the road and attacking police troops, as well as organizing a protest without a permit.
The court delayed the trial Saturday to hear the pleading of the defense team representing the defendants.
