Bassem Bousail defamation case postponed until November 28

The Alexandria Economic Court has deferred its ruling in the civil suit filed by artist Bassem Bousail against a woman charged with verbal abuse and defamation via social networking platforms. The judicial body decided to reserve the case for judgment during the upcoming session scheduled for November 28.

This procedural decision occurred while the court was reviewing the ongoing litigation in which the plaintiff accuses the defendant of causing harm through electronic accounts. The legal proceedings stem from an initial report submitted by Bousail to security authorities, detailing instances of insults and defamation circulated across various social media sites.

Investigation findings and charges

Investigative procedures revealed that the accused, identified as (H.A.), utilized a specific digital account to publish content deemed offensive to the victim. According to the investigation files, this material also contained elements that competent authorities judged to infringe upon her private life, resulting in harassment and annoyance through electronic communication channels.

Following the examination of the complaint and the collection of necessary intelligence, officials drafted a formal report documenting the incident. Subsequently, the Public Prosecution for Economic Affairs conducted inquiries that concluded with the referral of the defendant to trial before the competent Economic Court.

Court schedule for final verdict

In its most recent hearing, the court ordered the postponement of the case to pronounce the verdict on November 28. This delay allows for the completion of required legal procedures and the final adjudication of the lawsuit.
