Court adjourns trial of Egyptian activist Ahmed Doma
Case against Popular Current member Ahmed Doma for insulting president is 'suspicious' and 'raises many questions', says his lawyer
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 05 - 05 - 2013

A court in Tanta has adjourned the trail of Ahmed Doma for insulting the president until 13 May, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported on Sunday.
The case against Doma is suspicious and raises a lot of question marks, Khaled Ali, one of Doma's lawyers, said on Sunday.
Ali, who stood for president last year, said Prosecutor-General Talaat Abdullah referred the case to Tanta's appeal prosecution but Doma only learned he had been summoned to appear at court from media reports.
Earlier on Sunday, the Gharbiya security directorate increased security measures at the Tanta court complex ahead of the opening session of Doma's trial.
In February, Doma, a staunch critic of the Muslim Brotherhood, called the president "a killer" over the phone on a television programme, blaming him for the murder of activists since he came to power in June 2012.
On 30 April, following a legal complaint by a citizen angered by Doma's criticism of the president, prosecutors in the Nile Delta city of Tanta ordered the detention of the activist for four days, pending investigations.
This is not Doma's first run-in with the state since the January 25 Revolution.
In 2012, during the rule of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, he was arrested following clashes with military personnel in front of the cabinet building near Tahrir Square in Cairo.
Accused of incitement and vandalism, he was conditionally released in April 2012 pending further investigations.
On 16 March, Doma was among a number of activists beaten by Brotherhood supporters while painting anti-Brotherhood graffiti outside the Islamist group's headquarters in Cairo's Moqattam.
The leftist activist, who is a member of the Popular Current, said he did not file a legal complaint against the Brotherhood due to his lack of trust in the justice system and vowed to fight the group politically.
