The trial of the four suspects (three Somali and one Sudanese) accused of belonging to a Jihadist organisation has been postponed till Monday until lawyers have been provided to defend them.

"All lawyers have refused to defend the suspects during the last Monday session, so the trial has been postponed to next Monday," an official at the Supreme Federal Court told Gulf News.

The suspects were accused of being involved in holding unauthorised activities in the UAE that financially support the movement in Somalia and other African countries.
