The Cairo Criminal Court adjourned on Saturday till
April 14 the trial of 215 members of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood (MB)
group in "Helwan Brigades" case.
The decision was made to complete hearing the
defense pleadings.
The suspects are accused of forming an armed group
called "Helwan Brigades" with the aim of carrying out attacks against
policemen and destroying properties and public facilities, as well as
vandalizing of electricity towers and transformers.
In February 2015, late prosecutor Hisham Barakat had
ordered the 215 suspects to be referred to criminal court, with keeping 127 of
them in pretrial detention, until the remaining suspects are captured and
brought to justice.
During the investigation, 51 suspects admitted of
joining the armed group and illegally possessing fire arms and ammunition, as
well as explosives.
