The court said that proving guilt or innocence is the job of the police, not the suspects. The latest court order was met with praise from the Islamists who considered it a precedent that can help their colleagues in similar cases. During the court session, El-Serri said the judge questioned the legality of the act on whose basis the three were arrested briefly in March. He granted the prosecutor 90 minutes to discuss the matter with his colleagues, after which the judge remained unconvinced by the reasons for the police request. Police have filed another explanation order for the three Islamists to question them on the 26th of this month.
Police can either proceed with the order or drop it.
According to El-Serri, the order is no longer a threat. Although the police suffered a setback, El-Serri conceded they did manage a victory of sorts.
