Cairo: The disciplinary hearing for the Saudi lawyer, defending a gang-rape victim sentenced to 200 lashes, was adjourned to an unspecified date, his lawyer said on Wednesday.
Lawyer Abdul Rahman Al Lahem has been accused by the state prosecutor for "insulting the Supreme Judicial Council and disobeying the rules and regulations" when he went public with his criticism of the sentencing of his client to be flogged while her attackers received comparatively light penalties.
Al Lahem could face disbarment for his public objections to the judiciary's sentencing.
