The tenth hearing of the trial against Patrick Zaki, the Egyptian student at the University of Bologna, is held on Tuesday in Mansura. His main lawyer, Hoda Nasrallah, as well as Patrick himself, 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. Patrick's judicial "nightmare" began with his arrest on 7-8 February 2020 and has lasted for three years and three months, 22 of which he spent in prison.
