Trial of Al-Jazeera journalists adjourned to 3 May
Egypt prosecution in Tuesday's court session presents 20 videos it says prove that the Al-Jazeera journalists had doctored their news footage
El Sayed Gamal El Deen Published in Ahram Online on 22 - 04 - 2014

Cairo's Criminal Court has once again adjourned the trial of 20 journalists charged with aiding a terrorist group in Egypt.
The trial will resume on 3 May.
In Tuesday's proceedings, the court ordered the 20 defendants – a number of whom work for Al-Jazeera – to leave the courtroom.
When the journalists tried to remain in the court, they were forcibly removed by police.
The proceedings continued with only the defendants' family members and lawyers present, along with the Australian consul.
During the trial, the court produced photos, video footage, documents and audio recordings from the defendants, many of which were taken from their homes and personal belongings, and claimed that the evidence proved the journalists had doctored their news reports.
Among the defendants are 16 Egyptians accused with joining a terrorist organisation – a reference to the Muslim Brotherhood, officially designated a terrorist group in December – as well as harming national unity and social peace.
The other four defendants – including Australian Peter Greste, of Al-Jazeera English – are charged with aiding a terrorist organisation.
Greste along with Mohamed Fadel Fahmy, Al-Jazeera English's bureau chief and Baher Mohamed have been referred to in Egyptian media as the "Marriott cell", after the Cairo hotel in which they were arrested in December.
The prosecution said it would allow Fahmy to be hospitalised, as he has a broken arm and has repeatedly complained that it is not healing while in custody.
Three of the defendants are on a hunger strike to protest their innocence and that they were not working for Al-Jazeera when arrested.
