Overview
- Nessy Guerra, whose case was upheld Tuesday on appeal, now faces a six-month jail term under Egypt's adultery law.
- A court order blocks her three-year-old daughter's exit from Egypt, with a custody hearing scheduled for June 3.
- Italy's foreign ministry says it is giving legal help and protection and has pressed the case with Egypt's foreign minister.
- Her lawyer says the ex-husband paid a witness and that threats forced Guerra and her child into hiding.
- Legal friction clouds the path home, since adultery is not a crime in Italy and prior Italian bids to extradite the ex-husband from Egypt failed.
