Mohamed Fahmy's trial adjourned again in Cairo

Mohamed Fahmy's trial adjourned again in Cairo

A Cairo court session for the re-trial of Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy, has been adjourned until August, and it is not yet clear why.

Fahmy told CBC News he is frustrated by yet another delay in his court case. Fahmy and his co-accused Baher Mohamed had arrived at a Cairo court this morning expecting to hear the verdict in their case.

Fahmy said the situation is "very insulting."

He said he has not heard anything official and isn't sure what to do next.

"We are extremely angry that the verdict has been adjourned today," Al Jazeera Media Network's spokesperson tweeted on @AJENews.

​Egyptian authorities accused Fahmy, Mohamed, and Peter Greste, an Australian journalist who has since been deported, of spreading false news and of supporting the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. The three men worked for Al Jazeera's English network in Egypt.
