Cairo, 24 Aug 2014: A criminal court in Egypt Saturday postponed the trial of ousted president Mohamad Morsi and 130 other defendants in a jailbreak case till Sep 15.

Morsi and other leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood group, members of Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and Lebanese group Hezbollah are standing trial over escaping prison during the January 2011 revolution in Wadi en-Natroun of Beheira governorate.
