The family and friends of Abdul Rahim expressed deep disappointment on Sunday after the Riyadh Criminal Court in Saudi Arabia once again delayed its ruling on his release petition.
Rahim has been imprisoned for the past 18 years in connection with the death of a Saudi boy.
On Sunday, the court postponed its decision after accepting arguments opposing the public prosecution’s case.
The hearing was adjourned, and the date for the next hearing is expected to be announced soon, according to the Abdul Rahim Legal Assistance Committee.
Notably, Rahim’s death sentence was commuted on July 2 after the deceased’s family agreed to accept compensation.
