Morsi Trial is postponed
OK, thanks.
I will look at that article.
Thanks for the link.
From that:
“Egypt’s ex-president Mohamed Morsi failed to attend the second session of his trial after the presiding judge said bad weather stopped him from being flown from his Alexandria jail to the court in Cairo.”
—
I did not know that he had to be transferred to Cairo for the trial. The article stated this was the 2nd time he was to be in court, so the trial has actually begun.
The Espionage section is the one that have drawn the greatest interest by many, because of the penalties that are attached to it. And this is not just about Morsi, it is about Muslim Brotherhood leadership too.
This is not going to be a pretty trial. Morsi is right about one thing, the Obama Administration will try to prevent it happening. But I am confident that will fail, unless Morsi is killed first by the MB or foreign interests.
I would not want to be a part of the security detail attached to this one.
I checked the distance between Alexandria and Cairo Egypt and it is about 136 miles (by road). Drive time was listed as 2 hours 30 minutes.
This will avoid forcing the travel in a known short time frame. They could transfer them over a 30 day period and reduce the chance of an attack in transit.
