CAIRO, Nov 11 (Reuters) – An Egyptian court on Wednesday postponed until November 18 a retrial of the editor-in-chief of Mada Masr, a prominent independent news site, on charges of publishing false news and running an unlicensed website, the site said.
Human rights groups see the Mada Masr case as a litmus test of whether independent journalism can survive in Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country.
