Air Defense stadium trial adjourned to Dec. 21

 The Cairo Criminal Court on Thursday adjourned the trial of 16 fans of Ultras White Knights on charges of rioting to December 21, Youm7 reported.

 
The case dates back to February 2015, when at least 20 fans were killed after security forces violently dispersed fans crowding the entrance to the Air Defense stadium to attend an Egyptian premier league football match between Zamalek SC and ENPPI.
 
The defendants face charges including involvement in violence and sabotage acts in addition to killing and injuring policemen. The proceedings of the case resumed early September after more than 5 month hiatus.
