Judge Mahmoud Mekky acquitted and Bastawissi reprimanded

Judge Mahmoud Mekky was acquitted and Judge Hesham Bastawissi reprimanded, and warned to face dismissal if commiting another offence. The reprimand means that he will not get his next promotion. For me this seems odd, they where brought before the disciplinary panel on roughly the same charges, as far as i know. To come to two different conclusions in this case, can only be politically motivated in my mind. Seing Hesham Bastawissi as the stronger of the two, and also trying to split the judges club. I doubt if this will do anything to quell the resilience amongst the judges club.

Judges Club, Egypt, Hesham Bastawissi, Mahmoud Mekky
