Egypt adjourns trial of Al-Jazeera journalists to June 11

An Egyptian court adjourns the retrial of three Al-Jazeera English journalists on terrorism-related charges to June 11.

The three were detained in December 2013 and later sentenced to up to 10 years in prison each, before Egypt’s highest court ordered the retrial.

Judge Hassan Farid on Thursday orders the postponement so defense lawyers would have a chance to deliver their closing arguments.
