From the Daily Star Egypt…

The Bolaq court postponed Monday the trial of Ibrahim Eissa, chief editor of Al-Dostour daily newspaper, at the request of his lawyers who asked for more time to investigate the nine lawsuits filed against him.
Eissa is accused of publishing wrong information about the president’s health and spreading rumors that threatened foreign investments in Egypt and caused public panic.
The other eight lawsuits filed by lawyers affiliated with the National Democratic Party (NDP) accuse Eissa of “causing them emotional damage” after publishing rumors about the president’s death, according to Hossam Bahgat, human rights activist and president of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.
Although Eissa did not attend the hearing, a large crowd of journalists, human rights activists — including Bahgat — and photographers gathered in front of Al-Galaa Courts at 9:30 am Monday to hear the verdict.
A large number of security forces surrounded the courthouse, located on the crowded street ironically facing the Al Ahram building, preventing journalists from entering the court session.
The session ended at 10:30 am.
