The Cairo Criminal Court on Thursday ordered Al-Dostour Editor-in-Chief Islam Afify detained until it reconvenes to review charges that he insulted President Mohamed Morsy. During its first session, the court adjourned the case until 16 September, after Afify's defense team asked for more time to study the allegations. Afify pleaded not guilty to the charges read in court Thursday. Some lawyers and journalists attended the session in solidarity with the editor. Prosecutors had referred Afify to Cairo Criminal Court on 13 August, accusing him of spreading false news, data and rumors that insulted the president, thus disturbing public peace, harming public interest, destabilizing the country and causing panic, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Adel al-Saeed. State news agency MENA reported that investigations into the privately owned daily began after people accused the newspaper of “fueling sedition” and “harming the president through phrases and wording punishable by law.” Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm
