The Misdemeanor Court convened in Zainhom decided to adjourn the lawsuit filed by counselor Mortada Mansour against media personality Amr Adeeb, involving allegations of insults and defamation, to October 11.
The adjournment comes as the court considers the legal proceedings related to the case following an appeal against an earlier ruling.
Details of the Previous Ruling
