The terrorism trial for abducted journalist Ahmed Rilwan was cancelled Sunday after the state failed to produce witnesses in court.
Two suspects – Aalif Rauf and Mohamed Nooradeen – are charged in connection with the abduction three years ago. Both were present in court.
Unlike other terror defendants, they remain free while the family of a third suspect, Mohamed Suaid, claim he is dead.
The state maintains there is no confirmation of his death.
