The trial of Irish student Ibrahim Halawa has been postponed yet again today, which means the young man will spend at least 30 months in prison without trial.

He was due to appear in court today, but local news sources confirm that the hearing has now been postponed until March 6.

Halawa has been in jail since August 2013, having never stood trial. He was arrested at an anti-Government protest in Cairo, along with 493 others. Under Egyptian law, all 494 defendants and witnesses are present in court.
