The Supreme Judicial Council’s disciplinary board issued a final decision on Monday to force prominent reformist judge and former head of the Judges’ Club Zakaria Abdul Aziz into retirement for his involvement in storming a State Security office in 2011.
The board rejected an appeal filed by Abdul Aziz after a first degree disciplinary board ordered him into retirement in March.
The former top judge was accused of inciting protesters to storm the State Security headquarters in Cairo’s Nasr City neighbourhood on 5 March 2011.
