Summary Several public figures have been recently prosecuted for allegedly insulting judges.
CAIRO (AP) - Egypt s official news agency says a prominent judge and two journalists will stand trial for defaming judges.
MENA says Judge Hisham Genina, who is head of a key oversight body, was charged with libel along with Chief Editor Magdi el-Galad of the privately owned Al-Masry Al-Youm daily and reporter Moammed el-Sanhouri.
The case stems from a 2012 interview with Genina in which he accuses the head of the Judges Club of corruption and describes internal club lections as a "farce."
Several public figures have been recently prosecuted for allegedly insulting judges, including Egypt s ousted President Mohammed Morsi and top leaders of his Muslim Brotherhood group.
