Court to Hear Retrial Proceedings for 12 Defendants in ‘Platform Events’ Case

Egypt’s First Terrorism Circuit is due to hear retrial proceedings for 12 defendants in the case known as the “Platform Events” within hours.

The hearing will be presided over by Judge Mohamed El-Saeed El-Sherbiny.

The 12 defendants are being retried in a case involving others who have already been sentenced. The upcoming session concerns the renewal of proceedings against those defendants, rather than a new case.

The brief announcement did not specify the charges against the 12, the sentences previously issued against other defendants or the steps expected at the hearing.
