An Egyptian court postponed on Tuesday proceedings for a lawsuit demanding to disband the former ruling National Democratic Party (NDP), confiscate its offices and seize its financial assets.
The South Cairo Civilian Court postponed the lawsuit to 7 June to examine relevant documents and memos, judicial sources said.
The case had been brought by a lawyer, Noura Ali, against the NDP head and the director of the Central Auditing Organization (CAO).
Ali said the party relied on practices that destroyed national unity and social peace before the revolution. She gave evidence that pointed to party leaders' involvement in aggression against pro-democracy protesters.
She said NDP members are trying to team up again to sabotage the revolution. She added that maintaining the party's headquarters and allowing it to continue activities will give it a chance to induce more unrest.
Ali also called for preventing the party from practicing any social and political activities under any name or through any legal entity until a ruling on the lawsuit is issued.
She demanded that the CAO present its reports about the NDP and its bank accounts, sources of funding and financial affairs over the past five years.
A number of NDP leaders are under investigation over accusations that they were involved in organizing attacks on pro-democracy protesters during the 25 January revolution.
