Bahrain Mirror: An official in the Bahraini judiciary announced on Monday (January 30, 2017) that the court adjourned looking into the case of Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim until February 27, 2017, at the request of the Public Prosecution.

Bahrain News Agency (BNA) quoted the official confirming that the next hearing will be the final hearing in the case.

The attorney general at the technical office, Haroun al-Ziyani, said that the High Criminal Court, the fourth department, continued on Monday looking into the case, in which 3 defendants are accused of money laundering and raising funds without authorization.

The designated trial convened in an open hearing, in accordance with law, and the court decided to adjourn the case until next February 12, 2017, to deliver the closing pleadings.

Accordingly, the Public Prosecution filed a request to adjourn the final hearing, so it would have enough time to prepare its pleading. The court agreed to the aforementioned, and thus decided the date of the final hearing to be February 27, 2017.
