Egyptian man who was convicted in the 1990s of terrorism offences by military court is being re-tried in front of civilian judge
An Egyptian criminal court ordered on Wednesday the release pending trial of Mohamed Ayoub, who is being retried on charges of membership of a jihadist group and terrorism-related offences.
Ayoub, who was a medical student at the time of the offences, was tried and convicted of the charges by a military court in the 1990s, and released after the January 25 revolution like many Islamist prisoners.
After Morsi took power, Ayoub was rearrested, to be retried in front of a civilian court.
The civil court has postponed the case to 22 December.
