The Cairo Criminal Court on Saturday delayed a final ruling against 739 people, including top Muslim Brotherhood leaders, in the so-called “Rabaa sit-in” case.
The court had been expected to issue its final verdict in the case on Saturday. But a judge said security concerns had stopped the defendants being transferred to the court and set a new hearing for July 28.
The case, which involves top leaders of the banned Muslim Brotherhood, including the group's leader Mohamed Badie, relates to the 2013 sit-in at Cairo's Rabaa Square in support of former president Mohammed Morsi after the army toppled him.
Some of the defendants could face the death penalty if convicted on charges ranging from murder to incitement to violence.
