Al Jazeera’s Rawya Rageh reporting from outside the court in Cairo, said "It was chaotic in the court-room after the verdict was announced, outside the court-room people were chanting against the military rule."
“This verdict will not go down well with the public”, said our reporter.
Getting the case into court was considered a victory for the female protesters who were subjected to the tests and had raised hopes of further trials of those accused of abuse.
Sunday’s ruling could also have implications for other cases filed by women against the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which took power when Mubarak was deposed, for violence against them.
“These test had amounted to torture and verdict has sent a wrong message,” Hassiba Hadj Sah-raoui, Deputy Middle East and North Africa Director at Amnesty International, the UK-based human-rights organisation, told Al Jazeera.
