Federal Supreme Court holds fourth session of Muslim Brotherhood group trial

The State Security Court of the Federal Supreme Court in Abu Dhabi has adjourned the hearing in the trial of the Muslim Brotherhood group until 17th December in order to continue to hear the defence case of the suspects. The State Security Court, presided over by Judge Mohammed al-Jarrah al-Tunaiji, took the decision today at the 4th session of the trial of the group. Fifteen suspects went on trial in today's session, while nine others were absent after the court received a letter from the punitive establishment stating that they abstained from attendance. Today's session was attended by three of the lawyers of the suspects, fifteen representatives of the media, seven representatives of civil society organisations (three from Emirates Human Rights Association and four from Emirates Lawyers Association), five relatives of the suspects and a representative of the Egyptian Embassy.
