 　　埃及法院判处现任总理1年监禁

       CAIRO, April 17 (Xinhua) -- An Egyptian court sentenced Wednesday Prime Minister Hesham Qandil in absentia to a jail term of one year over failing to enforce a judiciary verdict to nationalize the Tanta Flax company, state-run al-Ahram online reported.

　　Egypt's Misdemeanor Dokki Court also ordered to remove Qandil from his post, and impose a fine of 2,000 Egyptian pounds (about 290.21 U.S. dollars).

　　However, according the law, the rulings issued in absentia against serving state officials are primarily and considered as merely symbolic¹, since the officials can pay the fine and challenge the ruling.

　　In September, 2011, an administrative² court decided³ to annul⁴ the privatization of Tanta Flax Company and to return it to the state.
