ElBaradei to face trial in September
2013-08-21
Egyptian Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammed ElBaradei is to face trial on September 19 over his resignation as vice president after a deadly crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood, state-run newspaper Al-Ahram reported online on Tuesday, dpa reported.
Ah-ha. Now it's clear why he went to Vienna...
The case against him was brought by the head of criminal law in Helwan University, who argues that ElBaradei was appointed vice president as a representative of the opposition and was obliged to refer his resignation to them.

ElBaradei left Cairo for Vienna on Sunday, according to Al-Ahram.

#3  I agree with TW. He quit his post to side with the MB. Charging him with littering is much better than hoping he falls up the stairs and out a window.

I have not bought the jersey yet, but so far PR wise I like what Sissi et al are doing; reminds me of Honduras.

#2  Isn't this more in the way of a civil suit? The good professor is the one bringing the case, not any level of the government.

#1  Unless I misunderstand this, they are chargine ElBar with putting his resignation letter in the wrong box.

Now, I'm all for giving him a good thumping, but can't we at least dummy up some vaguely believable charges before we give him a fair trail and then hang him? Let's think about appearances, people!
