The initial slander case against Kassem was brought on Sunday by Kamal Abu Eita, a former government minister and member of a committee tasked with recommending pardons.
Kassem initially refused cash bail, indicating in Twitter and Facebook posts on Sunday he felt the case was political.
“I am more honourable than Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and all his men and his regime,” he said.
Amin said Kassem’s lawyers had submitted a request for bail in a different form, but were surprised by a second case lodged against him alleging verbal assault of public employees while detained, which he described as fabricated, and the referral of both cases to trial.
