Court Rules Defamation Case Against Karate Federation President Inadmissible

The Heliopolis Misdemeanor Court has ruled inadmissible a lawsuit accusing the president of the Karate Federation of insult and defamation.

The allegations were linked to the death of karate player Youssef Ahmed.

The ruling concerns the admissibility of the lawsuit against the federation president, rather than a verdict on the allegations themselves.

The information available did not specify the grounds for the court’s decision or detail the remarks at the centre of the complaint.
