The tenth hearing of the trial against Patrick Zaki, the Egyptian student of the University of Bologna, will be held tomorrow in Mansura. His principal lawyer, Hoda Nasrallah, as well as Patrick himself after the previous hearing on February 28, did not rule out that tomorrow there could be a sentence.
The accusation is based on an article written by the researcher in 2019 about an ISIS attack and two cases of alleged discrimination against Copts, the Christians of Egypt. Patrick's judicial "nightmare" began with his arrest on 7-8 February 2020 and has lasted for three years and three months.
