    Egypt court adjourns trial over foreign NGO funding

    CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian court on Sunday adjourned the trial of pro-democracy activists accused of illegally receiving funds from abroad, a decision lawyers said would give them and the judge time to review the case.

    Sixteen U.S. citizens are among 43 defendants targeted in a judicial probe of illegal funding of civil society groups that has strained ties between Egypt and Washington and led some of the Americans to take refuge at their embassy in Cairo.

    The extended timeframe for the trial could give more time for a diplomatic solution to the case, lawyers said.

      Hilary and Obama sanctioned this surreptitious PSY-OPS program in order to catalyze the "Arab spring" all the way back in Tunisia's uprising onward. Hillary and Obama's thinking was, " cause civil unrest and then toss all the pieces of the shattered society up in the air, everything will neatly come back down and fall into place because people can't help but be drawn to the "perfect utopia" of socialism and liberalism." But it doesn't work that way.

        Arab Spring was team work wth CNN and media hyping ratings to create it into a construction they wanted on camera. They touted and hyped Arabl Spring and Obama jumped on board to look tough.

        Sooner than later reality caught up with Arab Spring, didn't it?

      If they aren't brought to justice over there for meddling in other countries affairs they should be when they get back here. If a foreigner is found to be supporting the overthrow of the US government they would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law why should these agent provocateurs be any different?

      They don't tell us the names of the NGOs, their purpose,or the names of those arrested. Typical skimpy Y article. Maybe they think Y readers cannot had the full story.

        At least one of the arrested is the son of Transportation secretary Ray LaHood. Looks like Obama's support of the brotherhood may come back and bite his backside.

      Just give Egypt more money. Diplomacy by Bribery is the only way the U.S. knows how to conduct Foreign Relations....And, the whole world knows this and takes full advantage.

      Of course, they want money.
      • Celador2 2 months ago
        Will they still get money after this trial and how much? Was this an effort to get more money? Egypt wants IMF loans so there is more money maybe involved than Camp David and military aid. Us can appprove or push for the IMF loans.

      Good lets start this . No money for any muslims . No more presidents whose only thoughts come out of a teleprompter, no more democrats whose only achievement is to divide and destroy america, no more american troops for the arab world let them destroy themselves. No more #$%$ whoever the gop picks vote for them and shut up , lets take our country back first and then fix things. Imperial japan , nazi germany and communist russia did not cause the division and moral bankruptcy we have today. The democrats this

      "Trial" is an interesting word. Darn few countries have jury trials. Egypt isn't one of them. Judges, appointed by their friends run the courts and make the decisions of guilt. Corrupt government = corrupt judges = corrupt trials. Why do we continue to have relationships with countries that don't share our values? "Stupid is as stupid does". Forest is a genius.
