Bizarre scenes at Egyptian editor's trial

There were bizarre scenes in a Cairo court when Ibrahim Essa, editor of Al-Dastour, appeared on a charge of disturbing Egypt's peace and harming its economy by publishing stories about President Hosni Mubarak's health. Some of Essa's lawyers could not get into court due to the heavy police presence while prosecution lawyers recited eight new charges against him. The case, which is concerning human rights activists, was adjourned until later this month. (Via Arabic Network for Human Rights)
