(MENAFN) Egypt's top administrative court ordered on 26 May to block YouTube streaming website for one month over hosting a video that denigrates Prophet Muhammad of Islam, the Egyptian lawyer who filed the lawsuit said.
The ruling ends a seven-year-long appeal process over the release of Innocence of Muslims, a 14-minute video produced by by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula that mocks the Prophet Muhammad.
In 2013, a lower administrative court had ordered that the website be blocked, but the case was appealed and its ruling stayed during the appeal process, reported Reuters.
The ruling was then appealed before the higher administrative court which issued the latest verdict.
The top administrative court's ruling is considered final and cannot be appealed.
