(ANSA) - ROME, APR 5 - University of Bologna student and human rights advocate Patrick Zaki said Tuesday that he was the victim of a big cyber attack before the latest hearing in a trial in his homeland of Egypt for allegedly spreading fake news.
    "I have been addressing an enormous IT attack on my email and social media accounts since last night," Zaki said via Twitter.
    "What a great start!".
    Zaki, who is accused of spreading false information about Egypt in an article about the plight of the country's Christians, was detained in February 2020 after returning to his homeland to visit his family.
    He was not released until December last year, although he is not allowed to return to Italy.
    After Tuesday's hearing, the trial was adjourned until June 21.
    Zaki said he had asked to be able to travel pending his sentencing. (ANSA).
