Rajab's trial is adjourned for key witnesses to take stand   

Gulf Daily News - 18 June, 2012

Defence witnesses will take the stand in the case of an opposition activist accused of inciting attacks on security forces.

Nabeel Rajab appeared at the Lower Criminal Court yesterday, where he was also charged with taking part in an illegal gathering in Manama and calling for an unauthorised rally.

He was accused of delivering a speech urging those present to stage a march, confront authorities and use violence against security forces.

He was earlier released on a BD300 bail, but is still remanded in police custody for another case which is due to be reviewed for the first time on Tuesday.

Defence lawyers requested the court to summon defence witnesses. The judge agreed and adjourned the trial to September 27.

Mr Rajab also requested the court to lift a travel ban which was earlier imposed on him, but the judge has yet to respond to his request.

On Tuesday, he will face charges of insulting the people of Muharraq by effectively claiming they were government stooges on Twitter.

Mr Rajab is standing trial in two other cases, one in which he was accused of taking part in an illegal gathering in Manama and inciting others to take part.

He was also accused of allegedly insulting Bahrain's Interior Ministry through his Twitter account, but was also granted BD300 bail in the case.
