The High Administrative Court decided on Saturday to postpone until March 11 the examination of the challenges filed by former president Hosni Mubarak, former prime minister Ahmed Nazif and former interior minister Habib el Adly against a previous verdict which obliged them to pay a fine of EGP 540 million for cutting off mobile and internet services during the January 25 Revolution.

In a bid to stamp out the uprising in 2011, Egyptian authorities allegedly shut down internet and blocked mobile phone services on January 28 as they knew that activists were relying on social networking services including Twitter and Facebook to organize the anti-government protests.
