After a long hiatus, the High Court has scheduled the leader of religiously conservative Adhaalath Party Sheikh Imran Abdullah’s appeal hearing for next Tuesday.
Sheikh Imran’s attorney and Adhaalath Party’s deputy leader Ali Zahir also confirmed that the hearing is on the appellate court’s schedule for March 21, at 10:15am.
The court had scheduled a hearing for Adhaalath Party’s leader appeal trial about a month ago; before cancelling the hearing without citing a reason.
Sheikh Imran is serving a jail sentence of 12 years on terrorism charges for inciting violence during a major opposition protest held in May 2015.
The last hearing of Sheikh Imran’s appeal was held earlier last year.
