(ANSAmed) - MANSOURA, 01 FEB - Patrick Zaki's trial opened Tuesday and was immediately adjourned until April 6, the Egyptian University of Bologna student himself told ANSA.
Commenting on the news, Amnesty International Italy spokesman Riccardo Noury said it's "still an enormously long wait for Patrick to finally have his freedom".
"April 6 is a recurring date. In 2020 and 2021 there were other hearings on the same date. We hope this is the last day that Patrick will go before a judge and now we must wait, support him and accompany him in this long wait towards what we hope will be the last hearing," Noury said.
Zaki was detained from February 2020 on sedition charges and released in December last year.
Zaki said "they put me in the defendants' cage for half an hour." (ANSAmed).
