Mohamed Elbaradei (L) and Gamal Mubarak
The administrative court postponed until 19 June a lawsuit filed by lawyer and activist, Hamed Sedik, to petition the minister of interior and the cabinet to strip Gamal Mubarak and Mohamed ElBaradei of Egyptian nationality.
Sedik argues that Gamal, the younger son and erstwhile heir apparent of ousted president Hosni Mubarak, should not be allowed to keep his Egyptian nationality because he was granted British citizenship without permission from Egyptian authorities.
Likewise, he says, presidential hopeful, ElBaradei, should be dealt the same verdict for acquiring the Swedish nationality, even though the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency had denied having citizenship from any other country except Egypt.
Today’s session was postponed because Sedik was not in attendance.
