An Egyptian court adjourned for two months the trial of 43 workers for pro-democracy organizations, including 16 Americans, in a case that has dragged U.S.-Egyptian relations to their lowest level in years.
Fourteen Egyptian defendants appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to charges including using foreign funds to stoke unrest and operating without a license. The other accused workers weren’t present. Judge Mahmoud Shoukry ordered the adjournment until April 26 and requested the presence of the remaining defendants.
