The Military Tribunal trying 40 Muslim Brotherhood (MB) leaders, topped by engineer Khairat Al Shater the second deputy chairman of the group, was adjourned to next Sunday.

Tuesday"s tenth session of the military tribunal witnessed completing interrogating the State Security Police officers over the legality of measures taken while arresting the accused and seizing sequestered items. The interrogation was done by the defence team members, the court and the prosecution.
In the same context, the security forces prevented Dr. Ammar Qurabi, the envoy of the Arab Organization for Human Rights and envoy of the UN High Commission for Human Rights, from entering the court although he is international observer who came to monitor the trial measures. They claimed that Qurabi must have an approval from the military intelligence.
Hassan Zalat, one of those referred to the tribunal, didn"t attend the session because he is held in the intensive care unit because his health sharply deteriorated. Also, engineer Khairat Al-Shater developed symptoms of a diabetic foot as continuously increasing tumors and inflammations in his foot, due to pollution and lacking appropriate medical care in prison.

The MB leaders have been referred to the Military Tribunal although Cairo Criminal Court acquitted Al-Shater and 15 others.
